This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
In the Introduction section, the wording of the Web Service definition "XML Web services-based system" contains a redundant word "XML". Justification: See the Description. Target: WS-Policy Framework, section 1. Introduction. Proposal: Change the wording from "in a XML Web services-based system" to "in a Web services-based system". The alternative solution would be to provide detailed definition of a Web Service (and some relevant definitions: requester, provider,...) in the section 2.4 Terminology. I think this solution will expand the scope of the document, and as such it is not well justified.
ACTION: Editors to implement the resolution for issue 3563 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/08/09-ws-policy-minutes.html#action08] Change the wording from "in a XML Web services-based system" to "in a Web services-based system".
