This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
The framework specification does not explicitly state if an assertion can be marked both optional and ignorable. However, as we discussed since @wsp:optional is just a syntactic simplification, it is permitted to mark an assertion with both the @wsp:optional and @wsp:Ignorable with the value of "true" for both. I ask that the guidelines document add some guidance to clarify this aspect. Regards, Prasad

Another issue was to be opened as a result of resolution of Issue 4262 related to Primer and questions on understandability and mode. To optimize, this was combined with the complementary resolution to Issue 4393. Proposal (for Issue 4393 that includes minor change to resolve Action 256): http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Mar/0120.html Issue 4393: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4393 Action 256: http://www.w3.org/2005/06/tracker/wspolicy/actions/256 Changes specific to Action 256 are as follows: 1. Add at the end of Section 3.4.1, Primer just before the last statement on domain-specific processing (as a separate paragraph): Regardless of mode, the wsp:Ignorable marker does not affect the behavior of the client. If the resulting policy contains assertions marked with wsp:Ignorable, those assertions the client understands are not ignored. 2. Change/correct a bit of existing text in Section 3.4.1, Primer. Change from: When using the strict intersection mode ignorable assertions are part of the policy alternative vocabulary, so the |wsp:Ignorable| attribute does not impact the intersection result even when the |wsp:Ignorable| attribute value is true. Change to: When using the strict intersection mode, assertion marked with wsp:Ignorable are part of the policy alternative vocabulary, so the |wsp:Ignorable| attribute does not impact the intersection result even when the |wsp:Ignorable| attribute value is true.
