[w3C sml] [4637: EPR Scheme] Beginnings of a proposal on the EPR Scheme

All,

 

Attached is the first half of a document that will (hopefully)
eventually lead to a proposal on the EPR scheme.  Since my views on how
the so-called EPR scheme would have to work in the context of SML are
somewhat radical and would change how the EPR scheme is constructed, I
thought it advisable to just distribute my arguments that I think
require us to take a fresh look at the whole EPR issue.  Perhaps I'm
totally off base here (I don't claim to be an "EPR guru" by any means),
but right now I don't think that any other course is feasible.

 

You might view the attached document as a head and torso, but no legs as
yet, i.e., there's no actual proposal on the definition of the "EPR
schema".  (I tried to indicate where the demarcation occurs.)  There's
no point in going on with the "legs" unless there's agreement on the
head and torso.

 

(Where is Philippe?  We really need someone from the W3C Architecture
Domain to provide guidance on this issue.)

 

(I will attach this email to the bug.)
