No, because it is meaningless to "ignore" an assertion that is always applied by the provider, even if it is advisory to the client. In other words, it is not ignored in associated impact, even if client chooses to treat as advisory and "ignore" it. -- non-wire assertion states something will be done (e.g. logging) - this happens, so is not optional. -- client views this as advisory, so ignores in making request, but this is not the same as assertion being ignored in entire process. The issue here is that optional has a much different meaning than advisory. regards, Frederick Frederick Hirsch Nokia On Sep 27, 2006, at 12:45 PM, ext Glen Daniels wrote: > > Hi Frederick: > >> It is difficult to combine the concept of optional with its >> normalization implications with flagging items that can be ignored >> without implication of actual impact. > > Why is that?
