Hi Charlton,
I am OK with the changes in general, except:
"* If the keepSrcElementName attribute is set to "yes", an
extra replacement step MUST be performed to replace the destination
element-name with the source element-name (i.e. [namespace name] and
[local name] properties)."
In WS-BPEL, the convention is to use "yes"-vs-"no", NOT,
"true"-vs-"false".
The default is still kept as "no". The semantics of
"keepSrcElementName" completely equivalent to
"replaceDestinationElementName". This should be just a pure syntactic
change.
I hope that is OK with everyone.
Regards,
Alex Yiu

Hi Rania,
On further review I don't see any issue with using
"keepSrcElementName" (or "keepSourceElementName").
With your amendment, do you intend to replace:
"* If the replaceDestinationElementName attribute is set to
"yes", an extra replacement step MUST be performed to replace the
destination element-name with the source element-name (i.e. [namespace
name] and [local name] properties)."
with
"* If the keepSrcElementName attribute is set to "false"
(default), an extra replacement step MUST be performed to replace the
destination element-name with the source element-name (i.e. [namespace
name] and [local name] properties)."
and to replace:
"RE (Replace-Element-properties): First, remove all [children] and
[attribute] properties of the destination EII. Then, copy and add all
[children] and [attribute] properties of the source EII to the
destination EII. An OPTIONAL replaceDestinationElementName attribute
is provided to further refine the behavior:"
with
"RE (Replace-Element-properties): Replace the element at the
destination with a copy of the element at the source - by first
removing all [children] and [attribute] properties of the destination
EII, then copying and adding all [children] and [attribute] properties
of the source EII to the destination EII. An OPTIONAL
keepSrcElementName attribute is provided to further refine the
behavior:"
This is how I see the text reading with your amendment.
I would use the example provided for EII-to-EII copy with
keepSrcElementName to illustrate it.
I also wanted to pin down whether you sought to have the examples
incorporated into the spec itself or a part of a primer. Let me know
what your stance is on this....

That would also change the description of RE (Replace element
properties) to say: "replace the element at the destination with a
copy of the element at the source. If the 'keepElementName' attribute
is set to false (default), then an additional step is required where
the name of the copied element is replaced with the name of the
destination element (add an example)."
This is instead of the current description:
• RE (Replace-Element-properties): First, remove all [children] and
[attribute] properties of the destination EII. Then, copy and add all
[children] and [attribute] properties of the source EII to the
destination EII. An OPTIONAL replaceDestinationElementName attribute
is provided to further refine the behavior:
