Re: [ws-caf-editors] Clarification on issue #136

[Simeon Greene <simeon.m.greene@oracle.com>]

A follow up question:
What type should we assign to parent-context?  The choices are
tns:ContextType or tns:ServiceRef.
The former would mean embedding the context structure within the child
context, but this may be simpler and follows the format of child-context
which it replaces.  The latter will be more compact, but it will be
complicated since the user will need to dereference the ServiceRef.
I will set the type as ContextType for now.  Let me know which you
prefer though and I will change it.

Regards,
Simeon
