RE: New version of requirements...

Hi Mike,

Thanks. Such a document is more likely to be something like the other GEO documents (such as the Authoring Guidelines for (X)HTML) and FAQs, but certainly with ties back the Ur-documents.

Internationalization is an architecture.
It is not a feature.

  I agree on all three.  For 3) I assume something like "Iternational Guidelines for Web Service Implementers and Developers" with a "check-off" list keyed back to the Requirements and Scenarios.

Hi Tex,

Thanks for the comments.

1. I thought of adding the links. Just didn't have time to figure it out.

2. Agreed. I'll make that change.

3. That's a good idea. Folks: any objections to adding this as a requirement?

Addison,

Thanks for all the work you did. It reads much better and is more to the
point. I'll try to make a more detailed pass over it this evening.

1) It is perhaps too much work now, but it would be very nice if the
each requirement referenced the relevant scenario(s) in the scenario
document. That would help people understand the justification for the
requirement as well as tie in the other work. I wouldn't include any
text, just add links at the end of each requirement. (e.g. see scenarios
link1, link2.)

2) The headings are now much clearer. I might change r005 to be
"Standard for Locale Identification" or "Standardized Approach to Locale
Identification".

3) I wonder how web service designers will be able to know which
international considerations they must take into account when designing
or describing their services. I suggest there might be a requirement for
Guidelines for Web Services Internationalization to accompany the other
requirements.

I think anyone reading the other requirements will have this question,
so it is worth addressing and it paves the way for our future tasks...

Very good work Addison!

    All:

I have incorporated Tex's comments, done another round of 
      wordsmithing, and uploaded the results.
    Following Tex's suggestion, I have split the requirements into 
      problem statement and requirement, which has meant very extensive 
revision of some of the requirements and the addition of a fair 
amount of text. The result, I think, is much clearer to external readers.
    I have tried to be as generic as possible in setting up the 
      requirements, but at least a couple of them are now fairly 
specific. Please take a close look at the new version (online now 
at http://www.w3.org/International/ws/ws-i18n-requirements-edit/ 
in both HTML and XML formats).
    Thanks,

Addison
