[glue-wg] flat xml rendering

[Florido Paganelli]

Hi David, Hi all,

Here's some comments I have after reading through the schema, I didn't 
have time to propagate them earlier.

* grouping elements commented out. is it possible to have them? any
   issue with that? I'd also like to have a <Services> grouping. Balazs
   said it was taken out at a certain moment, but I'd like it back.

   In the end in the flat model it should not really matter, if one
   doesn't want to use them he/she might not, but in ARC's case we would
   like to keep them. The motivation is that we would like the XML
   document to look like the LDAP three the most.

* IDs: I think they should all be URIs to be consistent with model.
   I dream of some form of distributed database that can hold them one
   day.

* association names for domains (UserDomainAggregationID and
   UserDomainParticipationID etc):
   I think they're ok those you've choosen.

* Naive question: in glue2_2SampleDoc1.xml, the <glue:...> prefix is
   added to every element. Is that mandatory? A consumer should search
   within the namespaces in the header, isn't it like that?

I already know my XML document will not validate due to the absent 
groupings. I will comment those out and check if it works.

Cheers,
