My Verification Actions

[David Snelling <David.Snelling@UK.Fujitsu.com>]

Folks,

Here is a summary of my actions. Sorry for the delay:

> 2.1 	Topics are not optional in WS-BaseNotification

The resolution states that the filter cardinality should be 0..n, but 
the pseudo schema says "?". However, the choice element within the 
filter is "*", so I think it is fine the way it is. The pseudo schema 
and schema for the RP is consistent with this, as in the schema for the 
MEP.

The fault discussion for not understood filters says, "The fault MUST 
include the filter QNames for the filters it did not understand." This 
seems logical and I agree with it, although it is not stated in the 
resolution.

For: /wsnt:Filter /wsnt:MessageContent the phrase: "delivered evaluates 
to true" should read "delivered evaluates to true." (period)

Otherwise, this resolution has been executed very well. Thanks to the 
editors.

> 2.6 	Third party subscriber can be a security concern

Line 1484 contains a reference to WS-Trust and WS-SecureConversation. 
These need to be changed to a generic reference to the concepts rather 
than a proprietary specifications or we will be in trouble in public 
comment. NB: The reverences are (correctly) missing from the reference 
section, so only this line needs changing.

Line 1505 Typo: "outlined in WS-those specifications" should be 
"outlined in those specifications".

Otherwise, this issue has been executed adequately.

> 2.55 	Remove references to specs that aren't in standards orgs

See note above wrt WS-Trust and WS-SecureConversation.

Line 1110: There is a reference to "[WSRF]" which is not in the 
reference section. It should be changed to reference the three specs 
independently.

In the requirements section (lines 154 - 157) there are references to 
WS-Policy, WS-Federation,  WS-Coordination, etc. which should be 
generalized to WS specs in general. The reference to WSRF as a whole 
needs removing too. I recommend just changing it to say something about 
relevant WS specs in general.

Line 635 references WS-Policy. Need to generalize this one.

Otherwise it looks OK but if there are any more, someone WILL find them 
in public comment :-)

> 3.4	Demand-Based Publisher is a light-weight NotificationProducer

This looks fine.

PS: Lines 197 to 200 contain reference to non-standards which are 
(correctly) not included in the references section.
