Subject: Re: [ws-sx] Result of Voting on WS-Trust 1.3 as OASIS Standard
| Hello Hal, Here's Eduardo's entire comment: ********************************** "Unfortunately we must vote 'no' on WS-Trust v1.3 because of an error in the specification that puts it out of compliance with the TC's charter. The error is that WS-Trust has normative references to W3C member submissions, "Web Services Policy 1.2 - Framework", 25 April and "Web Services Policy 1.2 - Attachment", 25 April 2006, Since there are apparently some substantive differences between that member submission and the WS-Policy V1.5 specifications that are on a standardization track at W3C, the matter of conformance and interoperability is left in some confusion. Similarly, the IP encumbrances of such member submissions are unclear as they relate to their normative reference in other specifications, as they only require the submitters to license in accordance with W3C Patent Policy only if and when portions of the submissions become part of W3C recommendations. The TC charter requires that such references be expressed in an abstract manner, which would alleviate such confusion. We hope and expect that the error can be quickly and easily fixed so that WS-Trust can be standardized in a compliant and interoperable way." ************************************ Cheers, Hubert On Mar 2, 2007, at 11:55 AM, Hal Lockhart wrote:
