Description Public list for the Web Services Policy Working Group 2006-08-01 17:40:38 UTC
We should clarify the relation of overlapping definitions in the
framework / in the attachement document.

Justification -

Some terms are defined in both documents, see [1] and [2]. People who
want to normatively reference these terms should have only one target.

Target -

The sections at [1] and [2].

Proposal -

I see two possibilities:
a) Have the term definitions as they are, but adding to one of them a
statement like "the normative reference for this definition is at xxx".
"xxx" points to the target definition in the other document.
b) Have the overlapping definitions only in one document, and pointers
in the other.

I have no preference for a) or b).
