I think that such a document would be very valuable at this point. It could also be a valuable input to the BES group, to show you their intent - I didn't pick up on your viewpoint from your presentation in Seoul, and I think I was pretty awake at that point (you were lucky :-).
Really?? I feel like I am in the Twilight Zone...
I thought I said explicitly that WS-Agreement is a generalization of the GRAM pattern for "creating a job" and could use JSDL instead of our GRAM job language. I then added that this had to be weighed against their milestones to decide whether to do it or take a more traditional approach, and gave due warning about the difficulty of rendering either type of interface on a short schedule, i.e. the devil is in the details, and the traditional approach is not necessarily the conservative approach since it can lead to repetition of mistakes.
Fair enough - I expect that I was wrong about my state of awakeness. (This leads me to wonder what WG sessions I *was* awake for...) I still like the idea of an information document, though. Cheers, Jon.
