[occi-wg] Is OCCI the HTTP of Cloud Computing?

[Randy Bias]

Clone is dangerous.  Please define what you mean.  As far as I can tell
everyone means something difference.

For pass one I'd prefer to avoid verbs that aren't very specific, like
'stop'.  Heck, even with stop we have differences.

'Clone' is incredibly overloaded and has lots of expectations associated
with it.
