 Dear Rotan Hanrahan ,

The Mobile Web Initiative Device Description Working Group has reviewed
the comments you sent [1] on the Last Call Working Draft [2] of the
Device
Description Repository Simple API published on 4 Apr 2008. Thank you for
having taken the time to review the document and to send us comments!

The Working Group's response to your comment is included below, and has
been implemented in the new version of the document available at:
http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/DDWG/drafts/api/080529.

Please review it carefully and let us know by email at
public-ddwg-comments@w3.org if you agree with it or not before 9 June
2008. In case of disagreement, you are requested to provide a specific
solution for or a path to a consensus with the Working Group. If such a
consensus cannot be achieved, you will be given the opportunity to raise
a
formal objection which will then be reviewed by the Director during the
transition of this document to the next stage in the W3C Recommendation
Track.

Thanks,

For the Mobile Web Initiative Device Description Working Group,
Matt Womer

Your comment on 4.4 Exceptions:

Working Group Resolution (LC-1951):
The API permits codes whose value is IMPLEMENTATION_ERROR+1 or higher to
be used for implementation-specific purposes. These are the only code
values that are permitted for such purposes. This information, already
mentioned, addresses the comment. Guidance on the choice of values
within
the indicated range is out of scope for the API. The group resolves not
to
change the text.
