Re: [ws-sx] Result of Voting on WS-Trust 1.3 as OASIS Standard

[Hubert Le Van Gong <Hubert.Levangong@Sun.COM>]

It seems I have emailed a preliminary draft of the comment.

Below is the one that was actually sent along with the vote.

Apologies for the confusion.

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

2006, http://www.w3.org/Submission/2006/SUBM-WS-Policy-20060425/

and "Web Services Policy 1.2 - Attachment", 25 April 2006,

http://www.w3.org/Submission/2006/SUBM-WS-PolicyAttachment-20060425/.

A member submission stops short of being in an advanced stage of

standardization.

Also, 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, so the matter of conformance

and interoperability is left in some confusion.

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.

I looked at the ballot, but I can only see part of Eduardo's comment. It

is something about an error in the spec, but I can't see the rest of it.

Is there someway to make it display?
