Which surprised me somewhat. You're right David, this doc was not included in the WG's original Charter. [Work on this spec started in a Task Force of the WAF WG as a joint effort between the Voice Browser WG, the Web API WG and the WAF WG and was Chaired by Brad Porter. Formal work began after the W3C Team completed a "Project Review" [Project-Review] (sorry but Member-only access) in April '06. After Brad left Tellme in the spring of '07, the TF was dissolved and the WAF WG "proper" took over the work.] Anyhow, as is now documented as ISSUE-19, there is a need for explicit requirements, etc. and I agree that without such documentation there will continue to be questions and confusion about the specs requirements, etc. Regards, AB [Project-Review] <http://www.w3.org/2006/04/27-access-control-minutes> > > <snip/> >> One of our requirements is that you can simply put a file on >> the server and have it work.
