Ok
            – that is what my original example had – I took out the dual
            specification based on my (apparently incorrect)
            interpretation of the call last week.  I will replace the
            example with both specified, to reinforce the notion that
            one is required, both are allowed.

        
 

        
Also- 
            for the time of retrieval attribute name:

        
 

        
retrievalDate

        
retrievalTime

        
retrievedOn

        
retrievedAt

      

    
    retrieved

    
      

        

        
 

        
And
            should we stick with requiring abstime?  The exact time
            seems unlikely to be important, but abstime seems a more
            common data primitive than date, since date is a 1.1
            construct in OBIX.

      

    
    abstime is an ISO 8501 "zulu" time, as I recall. That's fine - and
    unambiguous.  If you just want date, fine, but what about the date
    the spec changed?

    

    So I recommend dateTime or equivalent, which seems to be abstime.

My
            understanding, as a conformance issue, is that it is
            mandatory to have at least one (formal rev or retrieval
            time) but optional to have both.

Bill-

        
 

        
On
            your comment about line 769, it looks as though you are
            suggesting that the retrieval time be included EVEN IF the
            version information is also available.  This is different
            than my understanding of our intent, which was retrievalDate
            exists ONLY if version info is NOT available.

        
 

        
Just
            throwing this out for others to weigh in.
