Description Martin Chapman 2004-12-20 10:31:08 UTC
From: Bjoern Hoehrmann <derhoermi@gmx.net> 

Section 2.2.4 states

[...]
  Extensions MUST NOT change the semantics of any element or
  attribute from the WS-CDL namespace.
[...]

This does not make much sense to me. Please fine a better wording for
what you mean here and provide an illustrative example for an extension
that does not conform to this requirement.

Defer discussion - resolution not clear 
Comment 2 Charlton Barreto 2005-02-22 14:51:09 UTC
Can the originator of this issue provide some more information on what he finds
to be lacking from the existing language?

Proposal from Martin Chapman:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-chor/2005Mar/0014.html

I have some sympathy with this (maybe for different reasons). 
An extension by definition may change semantics, however it must be done in a  
way that does not contradict the specification. Therefore I propose we change:

   Extensions MUST NOT change the semantics of any element or
   attribute from the WS-CDL namespace.

to:

    Extensions MUST NOT contradict the semantics of any element or
   attribute from the WS-CDL namespace.

Bjoern did not like the groups response to this issue , but the group decided 
not to persure this issue further. Hence  the issue has been closed but not 
confirmed. 

The groups position is summarised in:
