Re: [NEW ISSUE]: LC Comments from SAWSDL WG

The statement refers to the semantic of the __assertions__, not to the 
framework or attachments
specs themselves.

It isn't clear to me that we can say anything about the 
subject/scope/semantic of an assertion.

I think that this does indeed seem reasonable as a guideline.

Re: [NEW ISSUE]: LC Comments from SAWSDL WG







If a normative statement such as "SHOULD NOT" needs to be expressed, 
then doesn't that need to be in either the framework or attachment 
specification?

I agree discussion belongs in guidelines, but am asking about where 
to place the corresponding normative statement.
