Title: Use W3C XML Schema to describe the syntax Description: The current text uses an informal pseudo-EBNF to describe the XML syntax of the WS-Addressing header. See, for example, Example 2-1 at http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2004/ws/addressing/ws-addr-core.html#_Toc77464319 in the current editor's copy (as of 4-Nov-2004). Justification: This syntax is not defined within this document (nor by any normativce-quality reference that I can find). This syntax is not XML This syntax has no mapping to the Infoset This syntax is not useful to any widespread XML processors The final recommendation will need to have a schema, anyway Target: Every ws-addressing document we produce Proposal: Replace the fake stuff with xsd fragments, include a complete normative schema in an appendix. -- Rich Salz Chief Security Architect DataPower Technology http://www.datapower.com XS40 XML Security Gateway http://www.datapower.com/products/xs40.html XML Security Overview http://www.datapower.com/xmldev/xmlsecurity.html
