Subject: RE: [ws-rx] [WS-RX] Issue i014
I don't reconcile it, because I had nothing to do with that misjudgement. Why persist in error? As Santayana observed "Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it". Play the ball, not the man. Alastair -----Original Message----- From: Christopher B Ferris [mailto:chrisfer@us.ibm.com] Sent: 28 July 2005 20:11 To: Green, Alastair J.

My contacts in the end-user world are already confused. How do you reconcile that with the fact that the WSRM TC produced a spec called WS-Reliability? I, for one, prefer that the name of the spec not be changed as that will, IMO, keep the confusion to a minimum. Adding yet another spec name to the mix will only serve to increase confusion, not decrease it as Marc points out.
