5.  Task Force Status.
 a. Properties and Features (dormant)

 b. Patterns
<scribe> Patterns: will find out the IP status, by July F2F
<scribe> Jonathan: we need to analyze more on pattern characteristics
<scribe> Umit: the TF made a big progress on recognizing/analyzing/writing
down the patterns
<scribe> Umit: does not know what are the alternatives
<jeffsch> Could the patterns task force make a presentation at the upcoming
f2f?

<scribe> Sanjiva: worried about how the Patterns proposal will impact the
spec

<scribe> David: we need to be clear about the pros and cons of a broader or
a narrower definition
<scribe> David: Sanjiva was concerned about specific patterns
<scribe> David: many patterns are recognized in the TF proposal. That does
not mean the TF is recommending all of them for the spec

[.2] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2003Jun/0051.html

<JacekK> q+
<scribe> Jonathan: experimented with the extension
<scribe> Jacek: proposes to add specific wrapper elements for signatures
<scribe> Jacek: wrapper elements are orthogonal to general extensions
<scribe> Roberto: prefers to remove the substitution groups and go back to
using element wildcards
<scribe> Jacek: does not like to have two ways to define the same thing
<JacekK> +1 to poll
<sgg> +1 to poll
* JacekK thinks the poll could include the third option
<scribe> Jonathan: poll?
<scribe> Umit: needs more time to think about this
<scribe> Jonathan: Roberto to rewrite up an email about these
<sgg> would the wsdl:rdf element be required for support by WSDL processors?
<Philippe> ACTION: Roberto to rewrite up an email about these
* RRSAgent records action 1
<JacekK> the wsdl:rdf element could be ignored completely by processors not
interested in the RDF representation of the WSDL doc

--------------------------------------------------------------------
8.  Single service per interface motivation [.1, .2]
    Comments on the pretty pictures [.3].  Simplification of the
    Simplification proposal [.4].

* JacekK +1 to straw poll
<scribe> Igor: curious about what products need this
<scribe> Jonathan: took a straw poll at the F2F, and majority were in favor
of adopting the single service per interface proposal
* Philippe notes that no one supported serviceGroup during the f2f meeting
<scribe> David: two questions: one for targetResource, and one for single
service
<scribe> ACTION: Igor to write up about pros and cons of the single service
proposal
* RRSAgent records action 2

independent
<scribe> Jonathan: introducing language bindings without impacting other
WSDL offerings is nice
<scribe> Umit: simplification introduced by adopting single service per
