This is just a list of comments that occurred to me while reading the spec. 2 As well as saying that implementations must not assume that components are functional, we should explicitly say that they must not assume that they are side-effect free. Does a subpipeline have to be connected? A pipeline doesn't. 2.1 A component *has* a number of ports, which may be zero. But it *MAY have* an arbitrary number of parameters. Surely it *has* a number of parameters, which may be zero. 2.3 Did we agree that the string value of non-string parameters is used? I remember arguing that it should be an error to use non-strings, so that a future version could compatibly allow non-string values, but I don't remember what we agreed. Thinking about it now, perhaps it's not a problem since we could require non-string parameters to be declared as such. 3.5 "guarantee" not "gaurantee"; "available" not "avialable". ... - more when I've read the rest. -- Richard
