<PaulC> [NEW ISSUE] 4210 WSDL WG Editorial comments on Framework

<PaulC> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jan/0098.html

paul: has anyone reviewed these?

asir: proposed actions to each of the items

WSDL Framework Item 1: No relationship to XML Base [1] is defined as of yet in Framework

paul: why don't we quote the issue number

asir: thinks there is an issue number
... item 2 refers to an issue: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2006Dec/0022.html
... issue 4039

WSDL Framework Item 2

asir: we note that text in section 4.5 and 4.6 depends on this definition
... proposes no action

paul: these are editorial
... anyone objects?
... no objections

WSDL Framework Item 3

Policy alternative (3.2)

asir: sees no editorial change needed since doesn't see an improvement

<Yakov> audio is breaking

paul: sees no objections

item 3 second part

paul: either correct sentence in section 4, or take it out

asir: will need three more bullets (corresponds to the table of content)

daveO: likes this section where it is
... section provides a bridge to the next section

daveO can live without it

no objections to removing the sentence

Item 4

<charltonb> Proposal to http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jan/0012 addresses this issue

<fsasaki> related editors AI is http://www.w3.org/2005/06/tracker/wspolicyeds/actions/115

paul: action on 4069 resolves Item 4

<charltonb> resolution to ISSUE 4069 addresses Item 4

WSDL Framework Item 5

asir: proposes to adopt editorial changes

paul: no objections

WSDL Framework Item 6

asir: proposes no changes, since it's resolved by 4038

paul: sees no objections

WSDL Framework Item 7

<charltonb> Language in current draft addresses this concern

paul: the words "signed" and "secured" are used, and not clear they mean the same thing
... in Section 5. of framework (Security Considerations )
... suggests adding reference to WS-Security spec before the period of the first sentence

<charltonb> Proposal: Updating "It is RECOMMENDED that policies and assertions be signed to prevent tampering" to ", using WS-Security [WS-Security 2004]"

fred: not sure it says the same thing

<Fabian> +1 to Charlton

fred: you're specifying a signing method

<FrederickHirsch> Signing can be used for integrity protection even when not conveying in a SOAP message

paul: does XML DSig allow you to sign a WSDL for example?

tony: yes
... don't know where you're including the signature? below policy element? included?

<monica> Note: This comment and the proposal are more than editorial. Monica and Fabian

paul: would XML DSign answer that question for me?

tony: you're suggesting to do something, and it would work, but chances of interop are slim

fred: generic issue, not just to this topic

tony: no use having a signature if you don't know where to find it

several questions arose about the need to restate the obvious on how to sign XML

<Yakov> Could you provide a link ot the discussed text?

yakov, we're discussing Section 5 of the framework document (security considerations)

<Yakov> Thanks!

yakov, specifically the first sentence and the next paragraph

<fsasaki> attachment sec related to this is at http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2006/ws/policy/ws-policy-attachment.html#SecurityConsiderations

<PaulC> Proposal: It is RECOMMENDED that policies and assertions be integrity protected to permit the detection of tampering. This can be done by using a technology such as [XML D-Sig], [SSL/TLS], or [WS-Security 2004].

<dorchard> Change first sentence to end be integrity protected to permit the detection of tampering. This can be done using a technology such as [XML D-Sig], [SSL/TLS], or [WS-Security 2004]

paul: asks if these actions resolve 4210?

<FrederickHirsch> -

paul: hears no objections

<scribe> ACTION: charlton to respond to the WSDL group [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/01/16-ws-policy-minutes.html#action04]

<PaulC> NEW ISSUE 4138: Normalization Algorithm is broken

<PaulC> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jan/0011.html

Issue 4138

umit: does not agree with asir's statement

dan: requests umit to show which steps

<Fabian> very difficult to hear umit and asir on the phone

umit: has followed the steps of normalization and concluded that the last part of creating a single assertion - that step does not occur
... add a step to create that single assertion
... asir claims that is not required

<dorchard> Is the right RFC for SSL/TLS 2246?

<dorchard> http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2246.txt

umit proposal: 7. If the resulting expression contains no alternatives, the expression

<dorchard> ws-security does not refer to SSL/TLS btw

<PaulC> Asir's response: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jan/0117.html

umit: we both agree what normalized form is, just disagreement on the steps to get there

asir: found several test cases of that form, and there were no interop issues
... looked into step 4
... key phrase is "construct normal form"
... need to connect "construct normal form" and section 4.1

umit: this proposal doesn't satisfy because policy operators do not introduce exactlyOne
... you need exactlyOne's to be introduced to produce normal form, and current axioms do not introduce them

asir: ExactlyOne comes from 4.1

umit: whole point of algorithm is to construct normal form

fred: seems to go back to whole issue of declarative, and agrees with umit's proposal
... maybe we need the extra sentence

daveO: seems that issue is that we're in the "normal form" algorithm section, and then section says "build normal form" as if by magic

paul: do asir and umit think their proposals are equivalent?

umit: no
... preference is to make *both* changes

fred: proposes we go with what asir has, and add a sentence because it's not procedural, but declarative
... say in next sentence that it's declarative

maryann: does asir have a problem with what umit proposes? is it incorrect?

asir: umit caught one instance, and are we going to provide all kinds of "if/then/else" for all instances?

paul: answer the question please

asir: yes it's wrong

paul: why is it wrong?

asir: it only covers one instance, not all instances
... by adding reference it covers all instances

paul: do you not agree that it will helps some people?

asir: if it is a note

daveO: what i understand from umit's proposal, is that it points out the end of the termination

umit: if you don't have the sentence you don't get a normal form

<dorchard> You could even add something like : and thus, the expression is in a normal form

dan: does not agree that has to have ExactlyOne for it to be an alternative

<whenry> +1 to Umit's concern. Section 4.3.3's Equivalence says wsp:policy is equivalent to wsp:all no mention of ExactlyOne.

paul: does anyone object to asir's proposal?
... also, no consensus on additional step

fred: do not understand what general case we're trying to solve

fred: you still reference 4.3.3, still declarative

<PaulC> Modified proposal:

<PaulC> 5. If the resulting expression contains a single assertion or a set of assertions grouped by wsp:All, the expression is equivalent to a policy with a single alternative where the content of the resulting expression comprises its content.

paul: if it overspecifies tha algorithm, then you should be able to live with it
... the only way not to live with it is if it's wrong

dan: worries that the new language might break previous successful interop

paul: we need specifically to know if it actually does break it. otherwise, if it's not wrong, then not an issue

4138 is pending review by working group

<PaulC> NEW ISSUE 4141: Policy parameter definition is not accurate, Umit

<fsasaki> message about pending 4138 in archive will be http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jan/0150.html

<PaulC> Proposal: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jan/0025.html

umit: we are excluding attribute and element information from ws-policy language xml namespace

<prasad> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jan/0048.html

<asir> +

<cferris> resumption of email thread on 4138 is http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jan/0150.html

<PaulC> Update proposal:

<PaulC> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jan/0048.html

<umity> Prasad's changes address 3985, is my opinion

paul: other issues are orthogonal right now to resolving 4141
... not hearing anyone object to making these three changes in thread with message 0048 from different messages
... changes proposed in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jan/0048.html
... hears no objections

<cferris> RESOLUTION: 4141 is closed with the proposal in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jan/0048.html INCLUDING the proposal in Prasad's included previous note related to the proposed change to the Guidelines document

<PaulC> NEW ISSUE 4142: Contradictory recommendation for nesting and intersection

<PaulC> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jan/0137.html

umit: issue was there were two ways to interpret the semantics of nesting of an empty policy expression
... depending on which statement you use, you arrive to different conclusions
... in order to solve the problem, eliminate misleading sentence from framework document

Framework Section 4.3.2

last sentence of second paragraph

<PaulC> Proposal is to remove the following text:

<PaulC> The reason for requiring at least an empty <wsp:Policy/> Element above is to ensure that two assertions of the same type will always be compatible and an intersection would not fail (see Section 4.5 Policy Intersection).

<PaulC> and add an explanation to Primer and Guidelines to describe this case.

umit: ws-addressing wg has the same understanding

<PaulC> Part two of the proposal is to change:

<PaulC> Note: if the schema outline

<PaulC> to the following:

<PaulC> If the schema outline

paul: hears no objections to resolve 4142

Issue 4142 is resolved by adopting changes in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jan/0137.html

<cferris> RESOLUTION: 4142 closed as specified in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jan/0137.html a) remove the following text: "The reason for requiring at least an empty <wsp:Policy/> Element above is to ensure that two assertions of the same type will always be compatible and an intersection would not fail (see Section 4.5 Policy Intersection)." and change "Note: if the schema outline" to "Note: if the schema outline"

<scribe> ACTION: maryann to give proposal for changes resulting from 4142 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/01/16-ws-policy-minutes.html#action05]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-192 - Give proposal for changes resulting from 4142 [on Maryann Hondo - due 2007-01-23].

8d Framework and Attachments Last Call issues, Part I, S-RX review (informal), Ashok

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jan/0077.html

<Ashok> I'm on the phone .. Please enable the call

<maryann> hey ashok

<Ashok> hi Maryann

<maryann> we're just getting started

Ashok: Not sure if bugzilla entry needed for this item

Paul: This is an issue related to a last call item

<Ashok> My mail is at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jan/0077.html

Ashok can have more than one assertion which when combined meet requirement

Especially true for WS-SecurityPolicy

Would like to change language - policy assertion represents requirement, combination yet possibly defined in combination with additional assertions

Have not received any responses

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jan/0131.html

<umity> 1+ to Frederick, there are two issues

original text is "[Definition: A policy assertion represents an individual

requirement, capability, or other property of a behavior.

Proposal is to add at end "that is defined, possibly, in combination

with other assertions in with assertion-specific semantics."

Maryann: How about just removing "individual" instead and update guidelines

Ashok: need to be clear about combinations with other assertions

<danroth> How can an assertion be defined in terms of other assertions?

PaulC: does this belong in definition of assertion

Ashok: ok to add words later in section, rather then in definition is also ok

PaulC: see start of 3.2

Asir: How can you define assertion in terms of another assertion, hence leave document as is

An open issue in RX TC, trying to address. Why in this group?

PaulC: Need to clarify document

Frederick: Issue includes need to state that an alternative may need to include a group of assertions, if not together can be incorrect

Ashok: Together group of assertions define one requirement

<Ashok> no frederick ...

PaulC: e.g cannot have A alone, only A+B or A+B'

<Ashok> clarified on the phone

Maryann: Looking for minimal change to specficiation
... Is this a guideline for assertion authors or a framework issue?

Ashok: Agree we need to add material to guidelines

Also wants change to framework, not one assertion = one requirement

Maryann: Need to distinguish peer assertions and nested assertions

Ashok: Security Policy assertions are not nested, but peer. Issue for peer assertions

<maryann> Depending on the semantics of domain specific policy assertions a combinaiton of thiese policy assertions may be required to completely speicify a particular behavior

Proposal is this additional note for 3.2

Ashok: need to remove "individual" from definition

Umity: can deal with both grouping and nesting with this

s/$/ note PaulC provided

<maryann> +1

<umity> it is either grouping or nesting, but relationships can exist in either way

FrederickH: cannot always solve issue with nesting, sometimes peer relationships are needed.

<umity> we should drop the word individual

<Ashok> i agree, frederick

<maryann> i agree nesting is not always the right choice

cferris: agrees to Ashok's concern , should drop the word individual

<maryann> i was trying to say that there were currently two mechanisms that could be utilized

Wording concern: depends on assertion author intent. Ok with removing "individual", ok with Note PaulC suggested

<maryann> the grouping of peer assertions in a collection ( if this is apprpriate)

<maryann> or nesting ( if this is appropriate)

Not supportive of Ashok's proposed text replacement

Asir: Ok with dropping word individual
... Ok with dropping word individual

In Note, would prefer to change "required" to "used"

also change "may" to "can"

FrederickH: Text updated to - "Depending on the semantics of domain specific policy assertions a combination

of these policy assertions can be required to completely specify a particular behavior."

<monica> c/can be required to completely/are needed to

PaulC: Changes proposed are

<maryann> Note: Depending on the semantics of the domain specific policy assertions a combination of these policy assertions can be required to specify a particular behavior.

first: change definition in 3.1 to "efinition: A policy assertion represents a equirement, capability, or other property of a behavior."

s;efin;Defin;

second: "Note: Depending on the semantics of the domain specific policy assertions a combination of these policy assertions can be required to specify a particular behavior."

cferris: will open issue

PaulC: phrase as Note - syntax and semantics of SAWSDL might be used...

cferris: Add to introduction of attachment specification possible

Asir: guidelines issue, general point already in guidelines document. Section 4.3.3

<fsasaki> asir's reply is at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jan/0111.html

quote "Policy assertions should not be used to express the semantics of a message"

mark as guidelines document only?

umity: they may want more than this. Solve issue by giving pointer to their specification

phrase "action performed by the operation" in the mail is not clear

PaulC: do not hear agreement in working group to change attachment document

Can consider update to guidelines document

Fsasaki: SAWSDL WG wants to avoid conflict between policy and SAWSDL, so they do not care where in specs as long as explicit

PaulC: Respond to them that we agree with sentiment, point to guidelines, no need to update attachment and add reference in guidelines to their specification

Can consumer choose to ignore a subset of ignorable assertions

Would like to understand Asir's comment

<maryann> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jan/0108.html

<umity> see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jan/0141.html

Asir: to ignore a subset of assertions marked ignorable, this is known to consumer of policy

can represent through the use of optional and strict mode

umity: this means we have no issue

prasad: in this case mark what you wish to ignore as optional and use strict mode

cferris: From consumer point of view, virtual intersection

dorchard: if A, B known by requestor, not C or D then it will fail in strict mode

If provider adds ignorable assertions C, D will break client if using strict mode

How to add ignorable assertions without breaking consumer

GlenD: Can expect strict mode to be default, they need to understand things to use them. Hence they need to understand to ignore

dorchard: if want to add something as provider that requestor need not to understand, would need to change policy language to say cannot use strict mode

GlenD: this was Ashok's issue

PaulC: now on a different issue

<umity> CWNA

PaulC: ok to close this issue

RESOLUTION: 4195 closed with no action based on explanation in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jan/0141.html

PaulC: would it be good to have this explanation in the primer?

monica: statements in primer that are not in framework

<asir> umit: what is IRC equivalent of \me command for the HTTP version?

PROPOSED CHANGE: For Framework, Section 2.2, Extensibility:

<monica> Extensions that are Child Element Information Items added to Policy operators

<monica> Extensions that are Child Element Information Items added to Policy operators wsp:Policy, wsp:All and wsp:ExactlyOne MUST NOT use the policy language XML namespace name.

Monica: updated proposal at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jan/0096.html

Cferris: language does not match intent

Monica: No change to the schema, change is for 2.2 in framework

Proposal is to add the text to the end of framework section 2.2

dorchard: 2.2 about processing model for extensions, this is better in 2.1 where extensibility points are discussed

Not clear agreeing on proposal but suggest should be in 2.1

dorchard: this re-opens a closed issue on namespace names

PaulC: what is number of issue being reopened?

Summary of David point - if change is made should be 2.1, but no need to do since already considered

umity: clarify how and why issue was closed

Asir: not aware of any related issue. Talked about another extensibility point, not the operator extensibiility point
... 2.1 is not right place, it is about notation only
... this is statement from schema

cferris: many aspects to this issue

pseudoschema is inadequate to replicate schema, that is what schema is for

1. should not make this normative over schema

2. 2.1 is wrong place

3 agreed on namespace versioning policy

not to change namespace if we add new elements

<dorchard> http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=3662

Agree - constrain operators

clarify distinction between namespace any and other. This pseudoschema syntax does not support\

annotate constraint in section on policy operators

<fsasaki> (sec 4.3.3)

PaulC: Need to clarify where in 4.3.3 we have pseudoschema

<monica> Please see 4.1

dorchard: what monica wants is already in 4.1

PaulC: summary, chris says it belongs in 4.1

Asir: where in 4.1

in 4.1 - /wsp:Policy/wsp:ExactlyOne/wsp:All/*

Cferris: Element children of wsp:All MUST NOT be from the policy language XML namespace name

Monica: desire to be consistent with schema, seems appropriate for 4.1. Need to address more than All, also Poilcy and ExactlyOne

separate namespace issue from extensibility issue

cferrris: notice no * under Policy or ExactlyOne listed for element extensibility

PaulC: is this a new issue, no element extensibility for Policy or ExactlyOne

Asir: This is normal form.

Cferris: where does extensibility go in normal form

dorchard: Children that aren't known are treated as assertions

see http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=3662

regarding issue 4196

dorchard: who would do this

asir: assertion author

monica: clear need to address errors related to schema

dorchard: is issue use of any instead of other?

Asir: not reopening old issue
... 2.2 is good location to clarify what is in schema

cferris: no place in framework specifies what a valid policy document is

paulc: does framework state that schema takes precedence or doc

ferris: 2.1 says "Normative text within this specification takes precedence over normative outlines, which in turn take precedence over the XML schema"
... 2.1 says "Normative text within this specification takes precedence over normative outlines, which in turn take precedence over the XML schema"

Hence not extensible

Monica: agrees with chris

cferris: Elemnt extensibilty of Policy operators wsp:Policy, wsp:All, and wsp:ExactlyOne MUST NOT use the policy language XML namespace name.

this belongs for compact form/

Asir: is "Child element information items" different from "Policy operators wsp:Policy, wsp:All, and wsp:ExactlyOne"

<Zakim> dorchard, you wanted to say that the extensibililty point IS documented.

dorchard: state how to get normal form, then specify rules for valid normal form
... issue is confusion of whether policy schema applies to compact or normal form

do not need extensibility for Policy, ExactlyOne if unknown items are treated as assertions, hence in normal form as children of All

see 2.2

danroth: section limits to areas with ...

hence if no ... then that condition does not apply

<PaulC> ac mon

Asir: Current schema works for both compact and normal form

monica: relates to 4197

<PaulC> http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4197

Issue 4197 http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4197

monica: attachment gives red-line

see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jan/att-0079/wspolicy-extensibility-011007.htm__charset_WINDOWS-1252

section 2.2, limit to spec

dorchard: agree with "unless specified otherwise" for 2.2 since PolicyReference element extensions are not treated as asertions

see 4.3.4 in framework, at end

dorchard: consider not having "in this context" at beginning of proposed change. Simply add ", unless specified otherwise"

monica: need to make sure this is only for this specification, not attachment, hence "in this specification"

discussion regarding details of proposal ensues.

umity: in addition, give pointer as to what breaks rule (e.g mention policy reference)

add "such as awsp:PolicyReference"

<fsasaki> (hyperlink to 4.3.4 Policy References)

<PaulC> For 4197:

<PaulC> If an Attribute Information Item is not recognized, it SHOULD be ignored. If an Element Information Item is not recognized, it MUST be treated as a policy assertion, unless specified otherwise such as in Section 4.3.4 Policy References <hyperlink>.

monica: section 3.8 of primer, revised sentence to indicate ExactlyOne and All do not have attribute extensibility

dorchard: likes change

asir: proposes bringing to editors

cferris: asks about XInclude

PaulC: no objection to changes proposed by monica for primer?
... change The default value for wsp:Optional="false". -- replace = with is

dorchard: Instead of any child, any descendants

no, child

Lifecycle of assertions in guidelines, 6 is new

RESOLUTION 4197 closed with changes in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jan/att-0079/wspolicy-extensibility-011007.htm__charset_WINDOWS-1252 and change as " If an Attribute Information Item is not recognized, it SHOULD be ignored.

<tboubez> Agenda: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jan/0126.html

PaulC: Need to clarify where spec defines a valid policy document, schema can apply to both, document assumes normal form.
... Chris do you think we still need material in varous places of document

cferris: need definition of valid syntax for compact form

10 support, 4 no, 1 abstain

Extensions to Child Element Information Items added to Policy operators

wsp: Policy, wsp:All and wsp:ExactlyOne MUST NOT use the policy language XML

namespace name.

section 2.2 addition.

change 1 abstain to ok with it.

<prasad> +1 from me

cferris: still not describing what a valid policy document is. perhaps new issue.

<umit> +1 to Chris that it is an issue

dorchard: ws-policy says how it will evolve its namespace policy in 2.3.

nobody can use ws-policy namespace, so this is redundant

FrederickH: Discussion of "Element extensions of Policy operations wsp:Policy, wsp:All, and wsp:ExactlyOne MUST NOT use the policy language XML namespace name.

DanRoth: To add without exension need to rev schema not namespace

GlenD: need text to indicate that something is not an extension but ws-policy addition

categories a) items ws-policy define now, b) may define later, c) user-extensions now or later, all of which not to be defined as assertions

SymonChang: can we use same namespace for ones ws-policy defines alter?

PaulC: can everyone live with proposal here

xtensions to Child Element Information Items added to Policy operators

sp: Policy, wsp:All and wsp:ExactlyOne MUST NOT use the policy language XML

namespace name

Framework section 2.2 addition.

dorchard: asks for time to work on wording

TomRutt: schema already says this with other.

PaulC: david thinks adding this text might be misleading. No desire to change ##0ther

<PaulC> Proposal:

<PaulC> 1. Start with the Element Information Item E (as defined in the XML Information Set [XML Information Set]) of the policy expression. The [namespace name] of E is always "http://www.w3.org/@@@@/@@/ws-policy". In the base case, the [local name] property of E is "Policy"; in the recursive case, the [local name] property of E is "Policy", "ExactlyOne", or "All".
