Thanks for the summary. Some quick comments inline. (I've shortened some 
of the text.)

I think there is an argument to also allow ApplicationName and 
ApplicationVersion in addition to the ones above. If not, then these are 
probably misnamed.

I'm ok with this.

Good point.

Something to discuss on a call.

I am against trying to define *normatively* anything beyond the basic 
structure and  the 'executable'  ApplicationType for JSDL version 1.0. I 
don't mind having webserviceinvocation and sql (or anything else for 
that matter) as *examples* that can help us get the structure right. But 
the focus should be on delivering a document that can go to the GGF 
Editor soon.  My take is that ApplicationTypes beyond 'executable' (or 
executable-similar) should be defined as extensions post v1.0.
