Title: RE: [wsia] Marked up requirements doc from F2F

Let us assume the information in a Handle constitutes a GUID. It constitutes both alpha-numeric characters (again, a Handle is just an example to explain my point - could be any process in the life cycle of a WSIA). The GUID will be higher case and could be lower case - a string in either case should be uniquely same. For e.g.let assume you are passing a parameter "WERTrrr429893484SFGSGGG....", which in a case-insensitive world the parameter has the same value and meaning, and could be different in a case-sensitive world (could even be construed as a totally different parameter by the receving WS application).

There could be numerous other information that are being passed through (at the operational level) - I am not concerned about what is inside the XML/... messages (in the body). The information that is used for processing at a header level in the context of WSIA.

From a WSIA point of view, could this be a requirement?

Are you saying that the value of a Handle must be processed in a case
insensitive manner? If so, why? Conceptually I view a handle as an opaque
remote reference. If a Consumer modifies it in any manner (such as changing
the case), I would view that as a security violation that should cause the
Producer to refuse access to the referenced item.

All,

I dont know if we had a requirement on case insensitiveness (Upper and
Lower) of the web services applications? If not, I think we should have one
under the General Requirements. For e.g., if we are using the information
in
the Handle, the Consumer or Producer application should process the
information in a case in-sensitive manner.

Folks -- here's the marked up requirements document from the face to face.
Sorry not to get this out sooner...let's get the edits running on the email
list!
