RE: 7207 AI progress

Hi Doug,

How about:

>  For any message defined by this specification, any OPTIONAL feature elements or attributes in the message MAY be used by the senders of the message, however receivers of those messages MUST understand those OPTIONAL features elements and attributes, unless other behavior is explicitly defined by this specification.

Thanks.

Ram - the reason I pick the word "feature" is because sometimes the optional XML in question is an attribute and using the word "element" could be misleading.  I'm ok with a word other than "feature", but I'm not sure "element" is the right one.

thanks

7207 AI progress







I had an action item to review the concreted changes for resolving  http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=7207.

The comments below apply to all the specifications (Enum, Eventing, MEX, Transfer, and Frag). In the Compliance section of those specifications:

>  For any message defined by this specification, any OPTIONAL feature in the message MAY be used by the sender of the message, however receivers of those messages MUST support those OPTIONAL features unless other behavior is explicitly defined by this specification.
Change to :

>  For any message defined by this specification, any OPTIONAL feature elements in the message MAY be used by the senders of the message, however receivers of those messages MUST understand those OPTIONAL features elements, unless other behavior is explicitly defined by this specification.
Thanks.
