Re: Compromise Proposal [was -- Re: TIBCO objects to last call]

Anish, this is a helpful proposal; thank you.

David, if there's any text in particular that would make this course of 
action more attractive to you, as the party who objected to LC, please 
make suggestions as appropriate. If other people have amendments to 
this text or other comments, please try to have them in before Monday's 
call.

One suggestion from my standpoint -- the text needs to reflect the fact 
that we've closed i054; "it is possible that further work may have to 
be done in this area" doesn't do this. My preference would be something 
like:

"The Working Group requests feedback regarding the mechanism for and 
description of Message Addressing Property extensibility, along with 
use cases that illustrate how referencing specifications and other 
users of Addressing intend to extend them. Although the Working Group 
has resolved upon a particular design [link], some participants believe 
it is not adequately specified. Such feedback will help the Working 
Group determine whether it needs to re-examine this issue."

Thanks.
