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

[Gary Mazz]

I like Tim's explanation. 

I have some on  some trivial subjects... 

1) Are we also talking about using IRIs or URIs only ? 
2) What is the thoughts on handling foreign markups at endpoints and 
gateways/bridges ?
3) How are the scheme attributes handled for child element when 
presented without the parent element that has the scheme assignment ?
4) Can we publish work spaces ? Will work spaces require authorization?
5) Will there be top level resources be defined? or will each vendor 
define their own resources schemes?  How do we preserve proprietary 
technology?
6) How are document writers/editors defined and authorized ?
7) Will there be document caching/synchronization policies and schemes ?
8) How are collection components authorized ? Private/authorized partial 
lists in collection of public lists ?
9) What are the policies for conformance levels? Will occi define our own ?
10) What will the policy be for non-IANA content ?

Sorry for the long list..
