RE: Qualcomm position- Extensions

To clarify:  that was not my recommendation.  I assume that this the above is Google’s recommendation – correct?

Qualcomm does not recommend changing the current position of the group.  I realize the request below only sought a response if a member company wanted to change the position of the group, but I felt it was important to re-iterate Qualcomm’s position.

This is consistent with the presentation I made to the W3C Directorate in October – see enclosed.  The recommendations are summarized on slide 10 and reproduced here:


  *   Continue to keep normative guidance in spec that all extensions are optional
  *   Follow Sam’s suggestion to specify AAID extension as RECOMMENDED  {“Sam” = Sam Weiler}
  *   Keep all extension text as normative
Note: I believe that only the appid extension would be normative in any case, because that's the only extension with sufficient implementation.
