Re: LC-1772: CC/PP 2.0 : Components in the CC/PP Structure Section

Dear Ivan,

The WG thinks that your use case is incorrect.

First, UAProf is an application of CC/PP not an alternative to it. You
don't use the two of them together. In order to ensure compatibility we 
accept that this application of CC/PP doesn't use the cc/pp namespace 
for the component.
Second, you don't use an off-the-shelf environment to process CC/PP.
CC/PP is an applicatoin of RDF and bring extra semantic which are 
understand by CC/PP processors and not RDF parser.  There are specific 
software components that support it (JSR 188 for example).

So for these reasons the WG still thinks that it should reject your comment.
So please let us know if you agree with our resolution.

Best Regards
Stephane
