Re: Reaction and questions to new docs

Hi Antoine - The current ODRL specifications are written primarily as normative documents - and it would be good to have a set of companion "usage guidelines" that explored a number of implementation scenarios. 
(we even have an Issue [1] raised for this, but looking for volunteers)

> This is difficult to assess as it's unclear where profiles are documented. The Common vocabulary https://www.w3.org/community/odrl/vocab/2.1/ says "see also Section 3 Profiles" but there's no such section anywhere. Which is rather surprising to find *after* the closing of a call for comments by the way.

That was an editorial error, as we moved all the Profile information from the Vocab spec into the Model spec.
(Now fixed)

We can always develop additional specifications/reports to help implementors.
Or even use our wiki to capture "how to" examples.
