[NEW ISSUE] 4566 Guideline G2 to be reconsidered

Title: Guideline G2 to be reconsidered

 

Description: Guideline G2 [1], slated for Section 5.1 of the Guidelines
document [2], reads: "An assertion author should define policy
assertions for behaviors that are relevant to compatibility tests, such
as web service protocols that manifest on the wire". It seems to me that
this good practice has been overtaken by events around Ignorable (and
maybe even the closed/open world discussion of late). As editor, I don't
feel comfortable adding it to the guidelines document without further
clarification from the workgroup.
