RE: [wsia][wsia-requirements][E903]

Hi Everyone,

I started to respond to this as I work my way from the most recent 
posts on this list back to Alan's first set of posts. I did not start 
responding to those Friday evening largely because the primary reason 
I have the time to do so is because I am waiting for decisions on 
several proposals I have submitted to various groups, and once those 
decisions are made I probably won't have time to follow up, and I 
know how disconcerting such behavior can be in working groups such as 
this committee.

However, this one sort of crystallizes a number of issues, but most 
importantly for me, it shows clearly how far down into actual 
specification material we have drilled. I don't think this level of 
specificity is helpful or useful in the requirements stage. Feel free 
to disagree, but don't you all think that this sort of thing needs to 
hashed out from a requirement in writing the actual specification? 
Perhaps we could cull out a number of these highly specific issues 
and try to write fewer higher level requirements.

The discussion is useful and we might as well continue on, because 
whether we narrow down our requirements or just rewrite large parts 
of the requirements as the actual specification, the work gets done, 
so we aren't actually spinning our wheels.

Ciao,
Rex
