Re: [wsbpel] Section G: Minor Nits

Just to capture what was discussed in today's meeting, it was pointed
out that SOAP 1.1 is also unneeded as a normative reference. Good luck,
editors! Thanks for all your hard work. (Trust me, I know how difficult
it is.)

Whilst browsing the latest committee draft of our specification, I
happened upon section G, References (Normative). I noted a few
errors:

  
    
XLANG and WSFL are listed; however, I believe are not even
mentioned in the specification text anymore, and should be deleted. 

    

    
UDDI is also listed, but is only mentioned briefly in the
introductory text, and can hardly be regarded as a normative
dependency, and should be deleted.

    
Also questionable as normative dependencies: sagas,
trends. These ought to be referenced non-normatively; BPEL's
compensation and LRT mechanisms are decidedly different from sagas and
trends, respectively. Sagas and trends certainly aren't required to
define WS-BPEL.

    

    
XSLT 1.0 is now a normative dependency of WS-BPEL (per the
issue
11 resolution), and should be included in the list. (I don't see the
issue 11 resolution text in the specification yet, so I may be getting
ahead of the editting team).

    

  
I'm pretty sure these aren't worth creating a formal issue for; this
email ought to serve to track the problem. Or perhaps this requires
discussion?
