Hello Martin, I think you did a great job of summing up our design principles for the design spec, I have nothing to add there, but maybe we should keep a copy of these somewhere ?
Maybe it's a good thing to also write down a bit of the design philosophy/principles for version 1.0 of the WEMI spec, or i? I can imagine something like this (I think most of them from consenus in the group?:
We strive for the KISS principle
We try to design as simple as possible, but not simpler than that
Implementation of a WEMI consumer should be not too hard
Implementation of a simple WEMI consumer should be really easy and straightforward for a relatively inexperienced developer
We try to build an simple 1.0 version of the standard instead of trying to cram every usecase on earth in it
We try to provide use cases for most of the spec features
We introduce extensibility only when we decide that there are too many strong use cases that are too complex to have in a 1.0 version of the standard, but we want to support them anyway.
We try to create examples, proof of concepts and implementations as soon as possible to progress our understandig
Martijn
cheers,
Serge...
