Re: [wss] Comments on Specification

[Anthony Nadalin <drsecure@us.ibm.com>]

I have not heard an over a lot of votes for or  against the proposal to use
schema in place of the current examples. We need to take a vote on this as
it will take a somewhat large effort to do this change.

WS_Security Core, Draft 3 uses examples to define/explain WS-Security.   I
question whether this is the most unambiguous way to define WS-Security or
whether we should use the WS-Security schema to define the specification as
is done in other OASIS specifications.  I believe the latter would be more
exacting.

Re: The comment by David Orchard on incorporating WSDL in the WS-Security
specification.   I believe that this would be the right direction for
WS-Security.  On the other hand, (as Truman pleaded - Give me a one-handed
economist :-) we do have a goal of completing the specification in ~6
months.   If we could add something meaningful wrt WSDL in a short time, I
for one, would be for it.
