Looks quite good. The protocol trace is a nice touch. I have a quibble with step 2.... [...] a GRDDL Agent should: 1. Find each transformation associated with N, i.e. [...] 2 Apply each transformation to obtain a GRDDL result. 3 Merge those GRDDL results. I agree that an agent should be aware of each transformation that is associated with N. I also agree that results should be merged. However, I think that a GRDDL-aware agent should have some discretion with respect to which transformation(s) are applied. Perhaps that is the reason that "should" was used instead of "must". In a given situation, only one or a specific set of transformations may be applicable -- at the discretion of the client on whose behalf the agent is performing. Also -- I suppose that I should have thought to ask this question a long time ago -- but what happens if the merged GRDDL result contains a grddl:transformation? Is that result final, or are we expected to recurse until we have exhausted transformation links? Regards, Murray P.S. I noticed that my name is mentioned under acknowledgements in connection with a W3C meeting held in France in 2004. I did attend a meeting, but it was in March 2006. And thanks for the mention.
