IMO, the Tag should be responsible for clarifying architectural principles, and should help workgroups to succeed in producing specifications consistent with that architecture. First of all, this approach helps to ensure that, over time, everyone doing the work is "bought in" to the overall architecture. Secondly, it is the individual workgroups that have essential expertise in the particular specifications being developed. For both of those reasons, I strongly urge the Tag to work with the XMLP workgroup to agree on the pertinent Web architecture principles and to explore any tradeoffs involved in various approaches. I think the XMLP workgroup should be responsible for drafting any SOAP-specific recommendations or notes. The Tag should be responsible for drafting notes and recommendations having to do with overall Web architecture. Just my opinion, but I do feel quite strongly about it. Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Noah Mendelsohn Voice: 1-617-693-4036 IBM Corporation Fax: 1-617-693-8676 One Rogers Street Cambridge, MA 02142 ------------------------------------------------------------------
