Looks great to me!
Thanks
One minor thingie: SIDL allows actually for default parameters, so instead of
list_services (in string service_filter, in string data_filter, in string vo_filter, out array<service_description> services);
list_services (in string service_filter, in string data_filter, out array<service_description> services);
you could write
list_services (in string service_filter, in string data_filter, in string vo_filter = "", out array<service_description> services);
That would keep it consistent with the detailed spec, where you list only the long version (and rightly so).
Where is this desribed please. I have been looking at https://computation.llnl.gov/casc/components/docs/users_guide/ Where looking at the JAVACC grammar in https://computation.llnl.gov/casc/components/docs/users_guide/node351.ht ml It says: /** * Parse a SIDL argument. Arguments begin with an optional copy modifier * followed by in, out, or inout followed by a type and a formal argument. * The argument is returned on the top of the argument stack. This routine * also checks that the copy modifier is used only for symbol objects. For * all other types, copy is redundant. */ Argument ::= [ <T_COPY> ] ( <T_IN> | <T_OUT> | <T_INOUT> ) (Type Identifier | Rarray) I want to make it quite clear in the spec that we are not saying that the vo_filter has a default value of "" - which is what this notation looks like for Python fans but that it can be omitted altogether!

I think we agreed at OGF22 that we would not need another call on the mailing list, as we seem to have group agreement since quite some time. So, yes, I think its good to go to the Editor.
Thanks!!! :-))
Best, Andre.

<<saga_sd.dvi>> Andre,
At last I have made the requested changes to the SD spec. Does anybody object to it going for public comment now?
Steve
