Dear JSDL WG members,
attached you will find a link to a document that has been approved by the
OASIS Solution Deployment Descriptor Technical Committee as the formal
requirements for the SDD specification.  This document is a result of
compilation of over 200 use cases brought by TC members including
representatives from some GGF workgroups.  At the time we evaluated these
use cases we were unaware of the potential overlap with JSDL.  Our set of
use cases are pretty comprehensive but it is possible that we missed use
cases that might relate to your use cases.  We would appreciate
establishing a liaison with your WG to make sure that we address any
overlapping needs between our respective charters.

In addition to these requirements, in our recent face to face meeting the
SDD TC voted to work with representatives of the JSDL WG to try to converge
JSDL's RRL with relevant portions of the SDD. I believe there is
significant overlap in this area and it would be beneficial to collaborate
on a single set of XML elements to express resource requirements.  We would
appreciate it if the JSDL WG could nominate a representative who can
participate in the SDD TC.

We understand that you are nearing approval of your V1.0 specification and
any changes would most likely be reflected in later versions of the JSDL
specification but we believe this convergence is important to industry
acceptance of both specifications and look forward to working with your
representatives on this matter.
