Description Greg Ritzinger 2005-02-07 15:08:18 UTC
2.5.5 Marking Silent Actions

The Silent Action activity is an explicit designator used for marking 
the point where party specific actions with non-observable operational 
details MUST be performed"

Suggestion: Add enforcement level (may,should, must, besteffort, 
resonable effort to the silent action specification.

Rationale: The MUST modality is only one of several enforcement levels 
traditionally used and specified. MUST may provide to hard requirements 
and may deter users to at all specify silent actions. After all how does 
one enforce an unobservable and maybe under-specified action?

Otherwise this mechanism provides a hook into business semantics which 
is appreciatd and usefull.
