ISSUE-61: Movement of Patterns between Basic and Advanced Specifications

http://www.w3.org/2005/06/tracker/databinding/issues/61

Raised by: Paul Downey
On product: Basic

This was discussed at the Edinburgh F2F, but we had no formal issue for our
resolution:

At present we have a large number of issues stalled open waiting for practical
testing with toolkits. What happens if we accept a pattern as being "Basic" but
later discover it isn't well supported by "state of the art" toolkits, eg.
during CR testing?


Proposal: Mark all patterns in the Basic patterns document as "at risk", that
they may be moved into the Advanced document based upon practical testing with
toolkits. Similarly mark the Advance document that patterns may be moved to the
Basic patterns document based upon practical testing.

Removal of patterns from the Advanced document altogether is something we should
treat with more caution.
