Requirements 4.12 and 5 draft disposition

Per volunteering at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-ws-desc/2002Apr/0043.html
(members only), here are draft dispositions for the few requirements in
section 4.12 and 5.

  5 Requirements from other W3C WGs
  
  R024 [Draft, Must, Charter] The WG will also take into account the 
  encoding work going on in the XML Protocol Working Group.

  R002 [Draft, Must, JS] Coordinate with W3C XML Activity and XML 
  Coordination Group.

Proposal: Reject both "requirements".

This is not a requirement on the specifications we produce, it is a
requirement on the behavior of the Working Group.  These requirements
are in the charter, which is the right place for behavioral
requirements.  When real technical requirements actually arrive from the
XML Protocol Working Group or the XML CG, then they should appear in
section 5.


  4.12 Mapping to the Semantic Web

  R070 [Draft, Must, Charter] The WG will provide a mapping to RDF so
that 
  the information described can be easily merged with that of other 
  applications. This mapping will be developed with the help of the 
  RDF Interest Group. 

Proposal: Modify this requirement to "It must be possible to provide a
mapping from the WS Description language to RDF."

The remainder of the requirement should be rejected for the same reasons
as R002 and R024.
