Re: TBTF pieces for the specs

Glen, thanks for working on these pieces. Regarding the description of
"Conventions for describing state as properties" (1), I think it's content
is basically about right but it will need some further editorial work. For
example:
-- The subsection "Properties, Features ....." starts with the statement
"We have had some discussion .... The view advanced here .....": This type
of voice is inappropriate for spec text. I suggest a simple fix is to start
the paragraph with "A message is an abstraction of the information .... ",
i.e. delete the first sentence and the beginning of the second.
-- Similarly, the last paragraph "We leave it open (at least for now) ...."
should be changed to something like "A property may appear ....".
-- The subsection "Properties, Features ....." also needs some more
organisation and a crisper style. Breaking up that subsection's first
paragraph would make it less dense, and shortening some of the sentences
would improve readability (e.g. the paragraph starting "Having abstracted
messages ..." consists of a single sentence).
I am available over the next few days to help edit.
Regards,
David

All:

Here are the current versions of the four pieces which the TBTF proposes
inserting into the upcoming WD.

The Binding Framwork itself may be found at [1].  This will become section
5
(I believe) of Section 1.

The other pieces, which all go in Section 2 (Adjuncts), are attached to
this
message.  As a reminder, they are:

1) A description of the property naming/typing conventions, plus the
"logical architecture", which we use in the following pieces.

2) A description of Transport MEPs, and a specification for a
"Simple-Request-Repsonse" MEP.

3) An HTTP binding per the framework, using the property convention and the
Simple-Request-Repsonse MEP.

These pieces were mostly taken wholesale from earlier text which the TF had
produced.  The structure has changed a bit, and some small edits have been
done in a few places.

A "merged" version of this text to see how it appears in the actual flow of
the WD should be available tomorrow.
