Title: Message

We still haven't reached a complete agreement with regards to Requirement 
602. This horse has been beaten to death and I have a feel that the latest 
version of the requirement reflects it (i.e., feels like a dead horse 
:-).

 

In general, I think that there are issues that regard to the intent of 
this requirement, rather to the wording: 

 

How do we want to handle JavaScript?

How do we want to handle other embedded presentation formats (Flash, 
etc.)?

 

Although pretty late in the game, this may still be a relevant topic for 
further discussion with the entire team.

 

My particular viewpoint is that we should do every effort to ensure that 
every piece of functionality that we provide supports both JavaScript, markup 
generated by JavaScript and binary formats. However, there is currently no 
consensus on this, especially since this result in implications that are 
debatable: for example, this requirement leads to favor distributed action 
routing (where the Consumer passes a URL skeleton and the Producer plugs in an 
action into it) than Consumer-driven action routing, since the former can also 
apply to JavaScript and Flash (albeit with work on behalf of the Producer) and 
the latter can't (or: makes it extremely difficult).

 

I would suggest to bring it to further discussion.

  [wsia][wsia-requirements] Revised document

  
Since we had agreed to get the requirements all revised by 
  this Fridays 
telecon, I spent some time pulling (what 
  I saw as) the conclusion of the 
discussions on the 
  email list into the requirements document Charlie had 
sent out a couple of weeks ago. Everyone should review my collection 
  of 
changes for accuracy. Also, there are still quite a 
  few requirements 
needing to be worked through.
