Ulrich has just sent me updates to the most recently published implementation matrix [1] (I have not yet had time to integrate the updates). Basically, it looks like ACI LETD is okay, while ACI HSD does not have 2-pass, nor does setGetIntensity (which feature is *not* in the at-risk list). As expected, these at-risk features will probably get dropped: 1.) ACI Line Type Continuation (listed "at risk" for CR) 2.) ACI Edge Type Continuation (listed "at risk" for CR) 3.) XCF access to transform stuff (listed "at risk" for CR) However, we also are missing 2-pass on these features 4.) ACI Hatch Style Definition (listed "at risk" for CR) 5.) ACI Intensity (NOT listed "at risk"). We have a decision to make about #4 -- Stuart and Dave assert that this is a key feature for A&D applications. Therefore, apparently we should wait for 2-pass, unless they are happy with the LETD result and don't mind abandoning HSD. We don't have to decide about #5 -- we must implement it, or else (if we drop it), then we will have to go through another WD cycle in W3C. Therefore, any resolution we pass today would have to be conditional: "Resolution: After attainment of 2-pass status for ACI access to Hatch Style Definition and 2-pass status status for ACI access to "Intensity", the WebCGM WG will remove the following three "at risk" features from the WebCGM 2.1 specification and wishes to advance the resulting document to PR status: 1.) ACI Line Type Continuation; 2.) ACI Edge Type Continuation; 3.) XCF access to geometric transform functionality;" Thoughts? -Lofton.
