XDI Connections

Let’s continue to discuss XDI connection requests, connection invitations, link contracts, templates, community contracts, requester contracts, etc.

Topics:

Review in more detail what happens when a connection invitation is processed.

Template versioning - what if the Template Authority changes a template? How does this affect existing link contract instances?

What do “deferred” connection requests look like?

Variables and variable collections
We have been using variables such as {$from} or {$msg} or {$do}.

It seems we have consensus on variable syntax, but we may need to discuss in more detail how variables are processed.
Transactional integrity
We have discussed the topic of transactional integrity a number of times in the past without reaching a conclusion. This seems to now have new relevance in conjunction with link contract instantiation.

The following document has a section titled “XDI Message Transactional Integrity Notes”, let’s review and discuss:
