RE: [Guidelines] Proposed update to section 4.5 (now 5.5), Design ating Optional Behaviors

Hi Frederick,

 

Couple of quick comments.

 

1. Good practice (b) and (d) seem to have the same good practice
description. 

That is lines 28-29 and 62-63 are identical (ref: .pdf w/o diff). 

 

2. Some of these best practices could be applicable on a broader scope
rather than just 

"optional assertions". For example, the following best practice w/o optional
could be 

applicable to WSDL attachment (described in the section that follows this
one).

 

"Assertion Authors should associate optional assertions with the appropriate
endpoint, 

and right granularity to limit the degree to which optionality applies."

 

Is it worth rephrasing these to be more generic so that they can also be
applicable 

elsewhere rather than scoping them strictly to optional assertions?

 

Regards,

Prasad

Subject: [Guidelines] Proposed update to section 4.5 (now 5.5), Designating
Optional Behaviors

 

I took an editors action item to revise section 4.5 of the Guidelines  

(designating optional behaviors) to reflect the approach taken in the  

Web architecture document, to re-structure as problem statement, best  

practices and then example. [1]

 

This resulted in a fairly extensive edit so I am sharing the revision  

with the WG before completing the edits. I added some best practices  

based on the original text.

 

Attached are plain and red-lines, with revised section numbers due to  

a subsequent change to the documents to add summary section of best  

practices at the beginning of the document. (Will probably need to  

add informative reference to MTOM assertion)

 

regards, Frederick
