I like the applicationSpecificSignalBase in the following fragment from EiClasses.xsd, wd29-wip2. In a previous email I said that  in wd29-wip2 the SignalLevelType is (largely) an xs:choice; I've highlighted the element that's the subject of this email in Bold Italic .     <xs:complexType name= SignalLevelType >         <xs:annotation>             <xs:documentation>The Signal Level is a Stream Payload holding a single value.</xs:documentation>         </xs:annotation>         <xs:complexContent>             <xs:extension base= eitc:StreamPayloadBaseType >                 <xs:sequence>                     <xs:choice minOccurs= 1 maxOccurs= 1 >                         <xs:element ref= eitc:signalDelta minOccurs= 0 maxOccurs= 1 />                         <xs:element ref= eitc:signalSetpoint minOccurs= 0 maxOccurs= 1 />                         <xs:element ref= eitc:signalPercent minOccurs= 0 maxOccurs= 1 />                         <xs:element ref= eitc:programLevel minOccurs= 0 maxOccurs= 1 />                         <xs:element ref= emix:quantity minOccurs= 0 maxOccurs= 1 />                         <xs:element ref= emix:priceBase minOccurs= 0 maxOccurs= 1 />                         <xs:element ref= emix:productDescription minOccurs= 0 maxOccurs= 1 />                          <xs:element ref= eitc:applicationSpecificSignalBase minOccurs= 0 maxOccurs= 1 />                     </xs:choice>                     <xs:element ref= emix:itemBase minOccurs= 0 maxOccurs= 1 />                 </xs:sequence>             </xs:extension>         </xs:complexContent>     </xs:complexType> This seems to fully address Bruce's ENERGYINTEROP-504 issue on information that needs to be filled in for SEP2 and other application environments ?  One can use a signal stream with application specific information,  with outbound information in an event Stream and return information in a feedback Stream. We've discussed the importance of this for integration and the care and feeding of (specifically) SEP2. Thoughts?
