RE: [ws-caf] RE: WS-Context potential bug - no explicit conformance statements

Title: Message

Tony,

 

Thanks very much for your input.  As I said, however, this issue was debated and resolved by the TC.  I understand your perspective on it, and greatly appreciate the work you've put in.  However, at this point in the process, when we are very close to CD, we need to be very careful about opening issues and making broad changes.  I am happy, as I'm sure the TC is, to consider any issue anyone wants to propose, but it is also true that as a group we sometimes need to move on when decisions have been made, and look at new issues.

 

I agree with you that conformance statements are an important aspect of specifications, however specifications can and do get published and adopted without them.

 

In the case of WS-CAF, I believe that the TC is correct in agreeing to postpone this question and deal with it comprehensively in the context of the other specifications.  I am very sure that your suggestions and your input will be greatly helpful at that time.

 

Thanks again,

 

Eric

Dear Eric,

 

No problem.

 

However, to be clear.  If the proposal is to defer approval of WS-Context then I would be content for the conformance issue to be deferred as well.  However, I understood that the plan was to try to move WS-Context towards CD status at the next WS-CAF teleconference.  I do think that this conformance issue needs to be addressed before we approve WS-Context as a CD.

 

Best Regards     Tony

Apologies to all - I read my email out of order.  Still recovering from the hard drive crash & have not got my filtering rules set yet.  Never mind!  I see the issue has been discussed already.

Tony,

 

We have discussed this previously at WS-CAF meetings and agreed to defer the work on conformance until all three specs are a bit further along.

 

Thanks,

 

Eric

Dear Colleagues,

 

In response (well partially, I was thinking of sending this in anyway!) to Martin's plea for us to look through the WS-Context specification for 'editorials' I would like to submit the attached on Conformance.  I guess this will be classed as a fairly major editorial.  I am sorry to have only got around recently to waking up to this aspect and doing something about it, but I have tried to provide fairly complete text for others to comment on and knock into shape.  My aim is to help produce a complete and rounded specification and I regard being clear on conformance as an important part of this.

 

Best Regards,

Tony
