Re: [dxwg] Use case: web browser navigation of profile information

@aisaac scripsit:

I find this UC highly relevant and we really should derive requirements from it. As Antoine says, it might be that we don't approve all requirements but then at least we'll know why...

@agreiner scripsit:

Yes, might be. And there seems to be rough consensus that the Profile Guidance Document tell implementers that they SHOULD offer human-readable documentation on what profiles are available (possibly being different ones for different media types) and MAY tell the user how to get data adhering to those profiles without using conneg. Do I see that right?

An aside to MUST vs SHOULD: AFAIK, when making a SHOULD requirement it's good practice to give examples of circumstances when it's not necessary to implement the requirement (thus not making it a MUST). What could be considered so special circumstances that we don't mandate the existence of an HTML page?
