Dear DanC Thanks for your comments on the Last Call version of the QA Framework: Specification Guidelines[0] - 22 November 2004 Original comment[1] As a response to the proposal, the QA Working Group decided to include in its Good Practice regarding extensibility mechanisms a technique [2] on this topic: When designing for extensibility, it can get complicated. Points to consider that can affect design decisions include, but are definitely not limited to, the following topics [...] * Avoid "untested hooks": if an extensibility mechanism is defined, make sure it is well tested during the implementation phase; experience has shown that untested extensibility just doesn't work [0] http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-qaframe-spec-20041122/ [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-qa/2005Feb/0015.html [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-qaframe-spec-20050428/#extensions- prohibited-gp -- Karl Dubost QA Working Group Chair http://www.w3.org/QA/WG/
