RE: RE: Updated Editors Draft of WS-Policy 1.5 Primer - For Approval as Public WD

Hi Maryann, all (I made the CC list smaller),

I see 2 potential issues with your proposal:
- we cannot be sure if the WG agrees with the proposal to remove the
section at today's call.
- Even if the WG agrees, it might be difficult to remove the complete section
without changing the rest of the document, which again takes time and
effort for the editors and will delay the publication process.
How about leaving the section as it is, but adding the following:
- an editors note at the beginning of the section (which will be
highlighted in the HTML output with background color and marked as EDITORS
NOTE) saying: "The Working Group considers to remove this section and to
re-use it as input to a separate document on guidelines for assertion
authors."
- have a statement in the status section saying: "The Working Group is
creating a separate document on guidelines for assertion authors, which
will be published in the future. The current version of this document
contains a section on Guidelines for Designing Assertions, see sec. 4.4.,
which might be removed and re-used as input to that separate document."
If you and the WG would agree with these additions, we could make them and
still have the doc published soon.
