http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8275

           Summary: editorial: description of wse:Filter/@Dialect verbose
                    and unclear
           Product: WS-Resource Access
           Version: PR
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Eventing
        AssignedTo: public-ws-resource-access-notifications@w3.org

The description of [Body]/wse:Subscribe/wse:Filter/@Dialect contains the
following paragraph:

"While an XPath predicate expression provides great flexibility and power,
alternate filter dialects MAY be defined. For instance, a simpler, less
powerful dialect might be defined for resource-constrained implementations, or
a new dialect might be defined to support filtering based on data not included
in the notification message itself. If desired, a filter dialect could allow
the definition of a composite filter that contained multiple filters from other
dialects. New dialect definitions MUST include sufficient information for
proper application. For example, it would need to include the context (which
data) over which the filter operates."

Most of this material would be more appropriately place in the primer.

Proposal:

"The XPath 1.0 dialect (described below) MUST be supported. Alternate filter
dialects can be defined. Such dialect definitions MUST include sufficient
information for proper application."
