<Bob> ACTION: Katy create proposal for 6587 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/02/24-ws-ra-minutes.html#action06]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-22 - Create proposal for 6587 [on Katy Warr - due 2009-03-03].

http://www.w3c.org/bugs/public/show_bug.cgi?id=6398

geoff: Introduces his proposal

<Bob> Geof's proposal at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-resource-access/2009Feb/0128.html

geoff: align with http, backward comp, ws-i bp compliance

options for compliant to bp: relax, use policy, or go to bp wg

Geoff described the summary of the proposal. The chair asked if there were any questions concerning the proposal - "People can read" was one comment made.

bob: any questions about the proposal?
... any objections to accept proposal?

asir: not sure the proposal is adequately explained

dug: why voting this one instead of mine?

bob: Does everyone understand the proposal?

katy: thought voting for both

<marklittle> +1 to Katy

gil: object to Microsoft proposal

<asir> where is the consensus?

bob: we have two proposals: geoff's and dug's. is dug's up to date?

<dug> here it is: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-resource-access/2009Jan/0043.html

<Bob> that is the one in the bugzilla

geoff: voting on it is too soon, need more time to discuss. My proposal was only submitted yesterday and there were new comments on the mailing list about it as little as 10 minutes before the start of this call.

<jeffm> maybe we all think we understand the differences

bob: Are there more questions about either proposal?

wu: we need more time until next week

bob: We need to clear this since several other issues are blocked by this one.

gil: two camps: back-comp vs. bp compliant, we should vote now

<Katy> +1 to voting and moving on

<marklittle> +1

<asir> -1 to vote without more discussion

bob: Will more discussion help the decision?
... Will anyone change their mind with more discussion?

<gpilz> FWIW I've read Geoff's proposal - I understand it and I object to it

<dug> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-resource-access/2009Feb/0128.html

<gpilz> I don't think any further discussion of it would change my opinion

bob: Since it seems that no one will change their decision, will call vote on IBM and Microsoft proposals

<dug> Jan43=IBM feb128=MSFT

Vote on resolution of Issue-6398; will vote on ibm vs. microsoft proposals

Oracle: ibm

Microsoft: ms

Hitachi: ibm

Avaya: abstain

Redhat: ibm

Software AG: abstain

IBM: ibm

bob: The IBM proposal prevails with 4 votes, Microsoft had one vote, there were 2 abstentions

bob: Will we expect any formal objections

<Geoff> Microsoft objects to proposal a from IBM

<marklittle> s/Micstosoft/Microsoft

<marklittle> +1 to Oracle. Has been pushed around for 3 weeks.

jeffm: enough time for people to make up their mind

<dug> actually more - since the f2f

bob: disentangling windows...

http://www.w3c.org/bugs/public/show_bug.cgi?id=6424

geoff: ok with the proposal, come up with suggestions

should we include wsa:To in the infoset?

wu: it is for infoset, not redefine wsa

<dug> +1 to Geoff

<dug> its very confusing - it looks like we're either restating what's already in WSA or worse possibly changing it

geoff: is wse wsa:to different from other usage of wsa:To?

wu: it can support different usage

geoff: more discussion offline

dug: like it because it's simple and gives xml authority
... geoff suggests more text in standard?

geoff: infoset is also normative

wu: we provide infoset and xml binding, implementations must conform to xml

<asir> agree - both normative does not answer the question

<dug> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-resource-access/2009Feb/0106.html

gil: both being normative can create problem

wu: no requirement to produce xml from infoset, rather the mapping is defined by the standard
... infoset and xml should be consistent, in case conflict, xml wins

dug: normative != authoritive

<asir> what environment?

authoritative can overwrite the other

wu: they are free of inconsistency and xml is authoritative

geoff: cardinality is a potential consistency problem
... need to specify xml is authoritative
... infoset may cause inconsistency between different mappings

wu: infoset rules in that case

gpilz: infoset is interesting but is theoretic and makes standard larger

wu: infoset helps on compression, works with other standards

dug: ok with proposal, but object to adding more text to explain issues such as consistence

bob: is this proposal bad?

<dug> w/o the full description in the infoset section I think we'd reduce the chance of inconsistency

gil: not bad proposal but a bad idea

??: need more text to explain

dug: add one sentence is sufficient

<dug> could we perhaps have Wu redo the proposal with Geoff's edits and see what it looks like?

bob: general poll on if we should use infoset

<asir> +1 to dug

<dug> if he wants - I don't think there are a lot of changes but they might be important to help people decide.

wu: infoset extends applicability of wse in a non intrusive way, urge group to leverage infoset

jeffM: where are infoset used?

jeffm: practical use?

wu: compression uses infoset

bob: Straw poll to encourage Wu to refine his proposal or not?

Oracle: no

Hitachi: abstrain

IBM: yes if minimal work

Microsoft: yes

Avaya: yes

Software AG: yes

bob: with 4 votes in favor to one against Wu is encouraged to prepare a refined version of the infoset proposal

<Bob> ACTION: Wu to refine proposal for 6424 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/02/24-ws-ra-minutes.html#action07]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-23 - Refine proposal for 6424 [on wu chou - due 2009-03-03].

bob: adjourned
