Whilst browsing the latest committee draft of our specification, I
happened upon section G, References (Normative). I noted a few
errors:
- XLANG and WSFL are listed; however, I believe are not even
mentioned in the specification text anymore, and should be deleted.
- UDDI is also listed, but is only mentioned briefly in the
introductory text, and can hardly be regarded as a normative
dependency, and should be deleted.
- Also questionable as normative dependencies: sagas,
trends. These ought to be referenced non-normatively; BPEL's
compensation and LRT mechanisms are decidedly different from sagas and
trends, respectively. Sagas and trends certainly aren't required to
define WS-BPEL.
- XSLT 1.0 is now a normative dependency of WS-BPEL (per the issue
11 resolution), and should be included in the list. (I don't see the
issue 11 resolution text in the specification yet, so I may be getting
ahead of the editting team).
I'm pretty sure these aren't worth creating a formal issue for; this
email ought to serve to track the problem. Or perhaps this requires
discussion?
