Re: [openc2] One item I've noticed on the current CSDs that will need to be fixed
Sorry it accidentally sent too soon

Chet,

I do have a question. One of the reasons for the discussion and the ‘text beats schema’ wording is that the schema is not as complete as the text (at least in the Language Spec). In particular there are statements in the text not
 represented in the schema. If the schema is the ‘more normative’ text, would that mean the additional text constraints do not need to be met?

Hi members of the OpenC2 TC, 

We are preparing the OpenC2 Stateless Packet Filtering v1.0 csd03 right now and I noticed a technical issue that will have to be addressed before it can go forward for public review. (This may apply to others as well which is why I'm letting you know now.) 

Annex B OpenC2 Schema contains a schema. Whenever a spec contains normative computer-readable files like schemas, the package must include separate plain text copies of those files. In addition, if there is a discrepancy between the copy in the document
 and the separate file, the plain text file is authoritative. (The CSD reads "This annex is normative, however in the event of a conflict with the schema in the OpenC2 Language Specification, the Language Specification is authoritative." So this annex schema
 will have to be provided as plain text and the Lang. Spec. will have to be as well.) 

This is explained in sect 2.2.5 of the TC Process. (https://www.oasis-open.org/policies-guidelines/tc-process-2017-05-26#workProdComponents) 

Let me know if you have any questions... 

Best,
