Mike, The discussion isn't about "what to call the top cloud", or "labeling the boxes". The discussion is about whether a third party "Discovery Role" is needed AT ALL in the BASIC architecture, or "what boxes do we need". I believe the BASIC architecture should only include architectural components that are clearly required for the vast majority of our anticipated applications. Other components should go into an EXTENDED architecture. I and others have shown several very commonly expected scenarios where (I believe) a "Discovery Role" is clearly irrelevant because the Service Requester already knows what Service Provider it wants to talk to. Hence the discussion. At 11:48 AM 10/8/2002 -0400, Champion, Mike wrote: >I'm lost!
