Ways forward

As mentioned on the phone conference, I would 
provide an E-mail indicating what I believe are acceptable ways forward on the 
current state of the XCBF document.  All of these are acceptable 
alternatives:

 

1. Change the base64 encoding to hex to provide 
full compliance with XER as it stands today, 

 

2. Indicate in the text that the encodings are XER 
compilant with minor deviations, namely the use of base64 in certain 
fields.  Indicate in an Appendix the current plans for the future 
XER standard with guidelines as to what is going to be provided so 
that implementors can plan to make changes to their products to be compilant 
with the new standard.  Only the part of the new XER standard that affects 
the XCBF standard needs to be disclosed.

 

3. Delay the XCBF standard until the EXTENDED-XER 
standard is available and can be referenced.
