Konya said: as far as i know this is the first real review of the old draft. the original version was prepared in a big hurry by a single technology provider (glite team) and unfortunately it never received the proper attention of other players.
It wasn't done in a hurry, we discussed it in public over several months. You could have participated but you chose not to. The decisions were agreed by those who did participate, mainly me, Laurence, Maarten Litmaath and David Horat, and no-one, including you, disagreed. That seems like a clear consensus to me. Your objective seems to be to change the document to retrospectively make the BDII non-compliant. I don't think that's legitimate, and as far as EGI is concerned it's also irrelevant - the deployment of the existing implementation is essentially complete and that isn't going to change regardless of what the GLUE WG decides, it is simply not possible to make substantive changes at this point.
