Agreed - on all points... especially number 3.
> 4.3 Conformance
>
> Applications will be considered to be in full conformance with this

>
> [A1] Conformance shall be determined through adherence to the content of
> normative sections, rules and definitions.

> As per our analysis of the CCTS spec against our registry architecture,
> we will not be in full conformance with the CCTS spec. This leaves
> several options:
>
> (1) Notify the CCTS Team of those places where we will not be in
> conformance (we will do this), and have the CCTS Team update their spec
> accordingly;
>
> MY THOUGHTS: The CCTS Team is under no obligation to do so, any more
> than we are under an obligation to be 100% conformant with their spec.
>
> (2) Notify the CCTS Team of those places where we will not be in
> conformance, and assume that they may/may not update their spec
> accordingly; we will call our Technical Note "Implementing UN/CEFACT
> ebXML Core Components in an ebXML Registry";
>
> MY THOUGHTS: Since the CCTS spec is copywritten, can we call our
> Technical Note "Implementing UN/CEFACT ebXML Core Components in an ebXML
> Registry" if we are not in 100% conformance?
>
> (3) Notify the CCTS Team of those places where we will not be in
> conformance, and assume that they may/may not update their spec
> accordingly; we will not use the term "UN/CEFACT ebXML Core Components"
> in the title of our Technical Note, but will instead call something like
> "Component-Level Registration and Reuse in an ebXML Registry". We will
> state that our work is *based on* the UN/CEFACT ebXML Core Components
> specification.
>
> MY THOUGHTS: Not sure of the legal ramifications of this, since the CCTS
> spec is copywritten.
