RE: Spec wording for operation safety

The name of the attribute and component model property should be "safe".

The question is 
  "Is it SAFE?" - Yes or No.
not
  "Is it SAFETY?" - Yes or No.

Subject: Spec wording for operation safety


Editors,

For Section 2.3.1, description of "{safety}", here is suggested wording to 
fill in this description, to replace the existing paragraph:
[[
{safety} A boolean indicating whether the operation is asserted to be safe 
(as defined in WebArch 
http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-webarch-20031209/#safe-interaction ) for users 
of the described service to invoke.
If this property is false or is not set, then no assertion has been made 
about the safety of the operation, thus the operation may or may not be
safe.
However, an operation SHOULD be marked safe if it meets the criteria for a 
safe interaction defined in WebArch 
http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-webarch-20031209/#safe-interaction .
The default value of this property is false.
]]
