Thanks for the comments. On some of them, I'm not sure what you want ...
background of the parties? Raised in Fresno, California and currently
living in Utah? Novell is a company headquartered in Provo, Utah and
sells a caching product? Sun is a big company?
We tried to start with requirements for an extensible services environment,
prior to having a full architecture. We do want to standardize the ruleset
matching (something that the IETF Policy WG is touching on these days)
and proxylets.
Sorry we failed on terminology. The term "surrogate" was being defined
as we were writing (and I tried to help with the definition). We like to be
tidy wrt to the WREC usage, so if you could give a couple of misuse
examples we could clean them up pretty quickly.
It's possible that entities "in flight" don't need entity names. However, the
entire area of variant naming needs examination. An ephemeral object
isn't necessarily a variant, though. And I'm not sure what you mean
by "synthetic" objects (those that don't exist). Perhaps the roadmap
should include a terminology document.
It's surprisingly difficult to find people here in Pittsburgh through
Brownian motion, but I'd be glad to talk about these issues in person
if you collar me; otherwise, look at the message board for Thursday
evening plans.
