             Summary: Section 5 versioning requirements violate SHOULD rules about Extent in Section 9.3
                 Key: OBIX-223
                 URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/OBIX-223
             Project: OASIS Open Building Information Exchange (oBIX) TC
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: OBIX 1.1 Specification
    Affects Versions: OBIX 1.1 WD38
            Reporter: Craig Gemmill 
            Assignee: Craig Gemmill 


The requirement to put the version and/or retrieval time in as a child element sort of violates the rule about Extent in 9.3, which is that you only use non-refs for primitive children with no further extent; complex children should generally be represented with refs.  Conceptually I think it’s helpful not to have to ask again for these additional details, but it is the first place a client looks, and it violates the rule.  The ‘rule’ is a should, not a must, so it’s not a definite problem, but still worth noting and considering.
