[nm-wg] topics for ggf

[Dan Gunter]

Hi all,

Here are some topics I would like to consider covering at GGF, that I 
don't think we've discussed much as a group. Most of these come from 
discussions with Martin Swany and Jason Zurawski.

- queries: possible ways to do XPath, XQuery, etc. across stored NM-WG 
data. Demos should be given. Ideally, some performance comparisons would 
be bandied about.

- test-scheduling: really a sub-topic of queries, but the use-cases are 
different. This already had a lot of discussion during v1 schema 
development, so my suggestion would be to "port" the decisions to v2 
schemas.

- namespaces: recap of namespace discussions, and view to the future; 
should we "root" our schema namespaces at schemas.ggf.org? how hard 
would it be to get some support from the steering group on this idea?

- doc/literal vs. rpc/encoded (SOAP interoperability, take 5): rehash of 
difference between the two, state of current tooling, implementation 
implications, etc.

- profiles: as the "devguide" sinks ever deeper into the mire of good 
intentions, one suggestion for making relatively quick and visible 
progress is to author some short, sweet, "profiles" describing how to 
use the NM-WG framework for particular measurement tools/scenarios.
