http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-chor/2004Oct/0040.html
My proposal for 687.3 was a request for two examples (already provided). Can this be handled under 6. Clarifications?

(i) Fault Handling
Proposed modification to
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-chor/2004Oct/0026.html
is
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-chor/2004Oct/0063.html
Discussion:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-chor/2004Nov/0001.html
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-chor/2004Oct/0026.html
proposal to remove " and causes an Exception to occur at a party when populated..."
Gary - subheading "Variable Definition" contained a inconsistent usage. Proposed text in IRC
Nick agrees with Gary
Monica - question regarding implicit choice
Monica - suggested including operational semantics
Nick - please propose the text
Monica - question regarding record elements, non-observable predicate conditions, needs explanation
Fault proposal as modified by Gary is accepted w/out objections:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-chor/2004Oct/0026.html with " and causes an Exception to occur at a party when populated..." removed.
(ii) Choreography lifeline section changes
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-chor/2004Oct/0049.html
Nick - was comfortable w/ text when originally sent out but realized that it needs to be clrified based on responses from group and peers.
Nick - asks for time to rework the proposal.
SRT - agreed
(iv) Coordinated Choreographies Proposal 1 - coordination attribute
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-chor/2004Oct/0065.html
Nick - high level comment: this is a big proposal that needs discussion. Asks what is the process for going forward with the proposal.
Martin - could have informal call, or defer to next week with email discussion
Monica - could we have infomal call and make decisions at F2F?
Gary - takes a long time to digest the Bob's proposals
SRT - if there is no visible discusion between now and F2F, assume everything is OK?
ACTION: Yves to book a bridge for monday 11am PST (for 1.5h)
Informal meeting to discuss proposals 1, 3, 4, and 6 will be held Monday (08/11/2004) 11:00am PST, 7pm GMT
(iii) Removing the attribute root on a Choreography definition
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-chor/2004Oct/att-0056/2004-10-26_Contribution_to_W3C_WS_Chor_on_removing_Root_Choreographies.doc
SRT - Is there a good reason to have the root attribute besides what the proposal discusses?
Nick - would like to know how proposal 'works'.
Peter - what is the purpose of the root attribute?
Tony - do not see any real reason to have the attribute.
Martin - ahy do you need an attribute instead of lexical ordering?
Nick - idea is that you want to have one chor with special meaning.
SRT - current mechanism does not blend well w/ XInclude.
Martin - have root declaration at package level
Martin - are there any other special rules in effect as a root chor?
Peter - root chor cannot be parameterized.
Peter - cannot be reused
Martin - agrees w/ Nick that lexical ordering 'doesn't buy us anything'
Monica - if we leave root attr in, how do we resolve Tony's orig question re XInclude
Martin - parser should flag an error
SRT - one of 2 approaches; lexical ordering or marked root chor.
Charlton - i don't see what marked root chor gains over lexical ordering
Nick - spec says that a package MAY have a root chor
Martin - that's like saying a program may have a main(), i.e. can't run it.
Martin - since we have no concept of extension, ... a package w/out a root chor is meaningless(?)
Martin -if after doing all the xincludes and completing the parse tree there is still no root it is a meaningless choreography therefore a package must have a root choreo until we get an extends/inhertiance construct
Charlton - why can't the top level chor be auto-recognised as root? without an attribute?
Greg - that's lex order isn't it?
Charlton - correct
Greg - it's simpler
Charlton - to implement? yes - for recognition of a root chor, but not for addressing all the consequential rules that need to be defined
Greg - which are?
Charlton - how to address a root chor which happens to include another root chor
essentially: how to address a root chor which itself is included
how to address a root chor with circular references
SRT - would like to resolution by next call.
