Detailed List of Issues

id Spec Section Topic Class Status Raised By Owner
1 line 15/16 title page spec editorial Active Chris Ferris
Title: title page
Description: [see email]the date cited here should be consistent with its adoption as a TC, not the date that the document was published to the TC for consideration (vote). Given that the ballot is closed as of January 18, then the date cited here cannot be less than that date.
Proposal:
Resolution: none
2 line 17/18 title page spec editorial Active Chris Ferris
Title: boilerplate
Description: [see email] either the tense is incorrect (is presented) or this should be removed. Suggest that the latter be applied. In the event that the OASIS membership does approve the TC specification as an OASIS Standard, then I could see adding something to that effect.
Proposal: make suggested change
Resolution: none
3 line 20 title page spec editorial Active Chris Ferris
Title: title page
Description: [see email] need to update the URI reference here. Should follow w3c approach and have a stable URI that people can reference which will always have the latest draft, in addition to an explicit URI for the specific reference to a specific draft for use in external references, etc.
Proposal: make suggested change
Resolution: none
4 line 23 ebXML participants spec editorial Active Chris Ferris
Title: ebXML participants
Description: [see email] I agree that having this section (ebXML Participants) in addition to the one in the appendix is both gratuitous and confusing. Suggest that we have but a single list, and that that list be in an appendix, if anywhere. There is no reason to cite the participants of the original ebXML project team.
Proposal: remove section "ebXML Participants"

11 line 709 2.3.8 version attribute spec technical Active Chris Ferris
Title: confusion w/r/t conformance
Description: [see email] this is going to lead to all manner of confusion. For conformance to THIS specification, all of the version attributes on any SOAP extension elements defined in THIS specification MUST have a value of "2.0". An ebXML message MAY contain SOAP header extension elements that have a value other than "2.0". An implementation conforming to this specification that receives a message with ebXML SOAP extensions qualified with a version other than "2.0" MAY process the message if it recognizes the version identified and is capable of processing it. It MUST respond with an error (details TBD) if it does not recognize the identified version.

Title: RFC2119 usage
Description: [see email] use of the term OPTIONAL here may be confusing given the conformance statement. Suggest that this be rephrased as follows: The Role element, if present, ... (technical/editorial) Other instances of OPTIONAL where ordinality is meant:

* 500 (MIME start parameter) * 1801, 1814 (Signature element in Message Status Request & Response) * 1822, 1842 (StatusRequest and StatusResponse elements; really, the service is OPTIONAL) * 1905, 1955 (Signature element in Ping & Pong)

The semantics of duplicate elimination are such that the application that is to process the received message need not concern itself that it might be processing a duplicate message. The delivery semantics of this element alone might be either at-most-once or best-effort, but in conjunction with acknowledgments, retries, etc., can effect delivery semantics of once-and-only-once.

The Description element here is intended to provide for a description of the payload document identified by the Reference item.

The Acknowledgment/From element is not particularly useful because it provides the Receiving MSH no actionable information. Since the current hop-to-hop text doesn't require messages to follow the same routes inbound and outbound, an AckRequested/From element might be useful -- letting the receiver know where to send the Acknowledgment in cases where it must be sent separately. Probably would be better to remove Acknowledgment/From since it covers only 1 of the 4 values hop-to-hop implementations might want to log. Other alternative is From and To in both AckRequested and Acknowledgment.

This extension mechanism is an exclusive choice. None of the elements defined in this specification support foreign namespace-qualified attributes. The wildcard elements are provided wherever extensions might be required for private extensions or future expansions to the protocol.

Note: Extension elements should be included in ebXML SOAP extensions only when they expand the semantics of that particular element. This mechanism might be used, for example, to extend the eb:Error element by providing additional structured information about a problem.

78 line 722 2.3.11 spec technical Active Doug Bunting
Title: Comment on 1.09 and on
Description: [see email, which includes references to November comments] TECHNICAL issue: Current text leaves reader asking "What is the semantic difference between toPartyMSH and the default SOAP actor? When would a sending MSH specify toPartyMSH rather than leaving the soap:actor attribute out?" This is not clear in this document and if I need to check the archives for the reasoning we're leaving something important out.

I've been told the actor described in existing section 2.3.11 will support an intermediate node acting on behalf of the To Party in returning an Acknowledgment (prior to the ultimate recipient seeing the message). That's a great use case, handling (for example) trusted store and forward MSH implementations in the destination's DMZ. If that's the case, we need to be clear this actor value is specifically for use in the AckRequested and Acknowledgment elements. I don't think it's useful elsewhere.
Proposal: Changing the last sentence suggested in issue 77 to read "If present in the AckRequested or Acknowledgment elements (see sections 7.3.1 and 7.3.2), this attribute SHALL have one of the values defined in the following two subsections." would work since the other use of soap:actor (in eb:SyncReply) is very explicit about allowed values.

This might remain insufficient to make the intent of this actor clear to people outside our group.

Title: Comment on 1.09 and on
Description: [see email, which includes references to November comments] TECHNICAL issue: For schema references, should allow a "namespace" attribute. The location attribute in that case would be a preferred schemaLocation for the described schema. This would also require a small addition to the ebXML Messaging schema.
Proposal: a

namespace -- If present, identifies the target namespace of the schema document found at the above location.

Description: [see email, which includes references to November comments] TECHNICAL issue: Error requirements here are overly restrictive. The problem might be a security failure accessing content elsewhere on the Internet, for example.
Proposal: Suggest adding something to the effect of "When no other defined error applies...".

Proposal: s/payload./payload(s). The MSH takes and active part in providing these security measures, as part of its generation of the SOAP message and through the parameters it passes to the underlying communication protocol./

Description: [see email, which includes references to November comments] Current xsi:schemaLocation doesn't include the namespace identifier for our schema, resulting in illegal syntax. recommendations.
Proposal: a

[Or, even better, the second tuple in this attribute value (after this addition) should be moved to separate xsi:schemaLocation attributes on the soap:Header and soap:Body elements. Otherwise, we conflict with our own "one namespace per such attribute".]

Title: Comment on 1.09 and on
Description: [see email, which includes references to November comments] TECHNICAL issue: This text disallows a receiving MSH returning a message saying "party B definitely received the message with id XYZ". Since that party likely has the message stored with party A's signatures, having to say "party B received the message with id XYZ and these contents" seems a burden only some relationships will require. It also stretches the previous definition of a signed message to mean just the inclusion of a Signature element in the soap:Header.
Proposal: Inclusion of ds:Reference elements should be an option even for signed acknowledgm
