DR608 of the current draft [1] was ballotted to receive more discussion. To kick this off I'd like to reiterate the content of the requirement and mention some of the reasons why it was considered apt for more discussion. Current text: ----- DR608 The XP specification should not preclude the use of XP messaging over popular security mechanisms such as SSL and S/MIME. ----- Many of the commentators felt that this requirement is inadequately specified. This is true, depending on the intention of the requirement. If the intention is there be support for specific security features in XP, then this requirement is clearly inadequate. However, this is not the intended purpose of the requirement. DR608 is contained in the section of the doc on protocol bindings and must be taken in that context. This means that the intention of DR608 is to ensure that protocol bindings for XP should take into account the fact that there may be a binding to a protocol and a protocol plus a protocol security mechanism. Comments and discussion encouraged :) --oh [1] http://www.w3.org/2000/xp/Group/xp-reqs-03
