[Bug 11667] New: Eventing: the optionalities of the wrapped and unwrapped delivery formats are unclear

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11667

           Summary: Eventing: the optionalities of the wrapped and
                    unwrapped delivery  formats are unclear
           Product: WS-Resource Access
           Version: LC
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Eventing
        AssignedTo: public-ws-resource-access-notifications@w3.org
        ReportedBy: gilbert.pilz@oracle.com
         QAContact: public-ws-resource-access-notifications@w3.org


I uncovered this one while working on the interop scenario for WS-Eventing. The
spec defines two delivery formats, wrapped and unwrapped, and allows for the
extensible definition of other formats. However, nothing in the spec says
whether or not an Event Source or an Event Sink MAY/SHOULD/MUST implement
either of these delivery formats. This creates a potential interop problem if a
number of implementations support unwrapped but not wrapped and another set of
implementations supports wrapped but not unwrapped (there is also a hole in
which an impl may not choose to support either format - nothing in the spec
says it has to - and instead only supports its own extension format).
