Sounds good to me.

That sounds like a good path forward; I will write this up 
as you suggest today and we can see where we go from there.   

 

Thanks,

I support that change.  I think the best way to move it forward 
it is propose suggested changes to the draft to specify how it would work.

The 
  description of the binary encoding details specifically does not account for 
  custom namespaces/elements/attributes as stated in section 8 para 2, which 
  certainly seems reasonable.   However, it is wise to not provide a 
  mechanism for such extensions to occur since they likely will anyway?   
   Conceptually, could we reserve a binary constant within the table in 
  section 8.2 as a marker for a custom namespace/element/tag?     
   For example, binary constant 31 ( 31 << 2, using the notation in 
  the aforementioned table) might be defined as the marker for a custom element 
  or attribute, the name of which is encoded as a string immediately following 
  the constant.     There are of course additional details to be 
  worked here, but I think the concept is worth examining.

If there are 
  no objections to this idea, I'd be happy to write up a more formal description 
  as a proposal.

Side note - is it just my system or are several pages 
  missing (or perhaps the table of contents is munged) - lines 259 through 285 
  within the TOC have undefined bookmarks, for example.

Several committee 
  members have asked me about getting this to a standards vote soon - this will 
  only happen with some participation and comments.

I have adopted a 
  convention here that has proved useful in other TCs. There are multiple 
  versions of this document. The most recent, or reference version, is a PDF 
  with line numbers turned on. This makes for the easiest comments. An earlier 
  version is a clean (changes accepted) word doc. To get to the earlier version, 
  look at document properties in the libary, and see all versions.

In 
  work going forward, I propose that we have an even earlier doc, that is a 
  document with changes shown. This multi-versioon approach has helped focus and 
  clarify work in other committees. The review copy with lines is a PDF because 
  changes in printer can change line numbers....

The document revision named oBIX-1-1-spec-wd05.pdf has 
  been submitted by Toby Considine to the OASIS Open Building Information 
  Exchange (oBIX) TC document repository.  This document is revision #1 of 
  oBIX-1-1-spec-wd05.doc.

Document Description:
Updated document to 
  current template used for OASIS standards. For the most part, document was 
  untouched, although I added references and acknowledgements.

There is 
  now a blank chapter at the end for conformance statements. Current OASIS 
  process dictates that the last normative chapter of a specification document 
  must be conformance section.Appendices are for all non-normative material, 
  i.e., background or explanatory. So far, I can't see a chapter to move in that 
  direction.
