Commenter's response (URI):

Comment:

1. I am not satisfied with what the 'disposition of comments'
document says is the
disposition of this comment.

BUT

2. It is a comment about the heuristic value of informative examples,
i.e. it does not
bear on conformance but on education,

AND

3. The examples have been pulled and deferred to the Primer, where
there aren't any
to speak of yet.

SO

.. for the disposition of this comment, please change to

"Overtaken by events" -- the examples in question have been moved to the Primer
and this issue may be discussed further in the evolution of that
document. Out of
scope here after the split into three documents.

[that disposition I would agree with.]

WG Notes: Al is asking us to make the disposition reflect the reality that the material is no longer in the document on which the original comment was made. Hence the discussion may continue but against the primer.

Resolution: Update the disposition in the first call comments in line with Al's request. Resolution communicated in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-diselect-editors/2007JanMar/0007.html Al accepted the disposition in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-diselect-editors/2007JanMar/0020.html
