Title: RE: [ebxml-jc] draft text for TAB requests

Colleen:

I'd add the following in (1) (in bold)

but have no problem if we don't:

(1)We feel there is a need for an OASIS-wide way to implement shema

versioning and documentation across OASIS approved schemas.

More generally, specifications should include a formal representation 

of their version number, e.g. using a common XML document format. 

All this would make it easier to obtain, query, and process the version number

of an implementation.

(2) We also feel there is a need for a common way to represent

compatibility links to other specs.  While the ebXML Joint Technical

Liaison Team  is developing an ebXML standards compatibility matrix, a more

formal way to code a compatibility matrix (for integration as well as interoperability)

is required across OASIS, ideally a model that could be processed by a tool 

and well understood across specifications.
