RE: Agenda: WSC WG distributed meeting, Wednesday, 2008-04-30

Hi Mez,

I was still in China, after WWW 2008, last week and so wasn't available to respond your pleadings to complete ACTION-407. Rather than close this one out without action, I think we can complete it.

As I recall, ACTION-407 was asking for text to address Stephen Farell's point that there needed to be language saying that the petname presentation must be distinguished from presentation of other names. I suggest the paragraph that currently says:

"Presentation of a petname MUST support renaming and deleting of a petname binding."

Be expanded to something like:

"Presentation of a petname MUST be distinguished from presentation of other names to enable discrimination between a user chosen petname and a name chosen by another party, or for another purpose. This presentation MUST also support renaming and deleting of a petname binding."

I guess the best we could do for conformance testing of the above requirement is checking that no other kind of name in the presentation has exactly the same presentation as a petname.
