[glue-wg] Glue 2.1 draft new version (0.5) - little modification

[Jensen, Jens (STFC,RAL,SC)]

Thanks, Stephen. I tried to join the call, and it was only after having
downloaded the client 4-5 times I remembered that Skype for business
only works in IE, not in FF (at least not for me)

A more backward compatible approach would be to add a new multivalued attribute for additional paths, then it's clear that the existing one should be the default.

Putting the attributes back in the main object would need both a clear definition for which precise semantics are intended, and a case for why those particular semantics are universally the most important ones. Personally I don't think it's a useful idea given that the information is already available from the existing object.

If a similar object is wanted for Datastore then it should be a new object with a new name. In principle it's possible that one Share could be spread across multiple Datastores so there's no simple relation between them.
