[occi-wg] Format 1: Wire format or abstract model

[Edmonds, AndrewX]

So sounds like the two options are pretty much the same.
I'd be in favour of explicating the model.

My understanding of the two options is either OCCI is just a model without a
rendering, or OCCI is a model together with a rendering. Clearly a rendering
implies a model, as you say, and defining a rendering doesn't prevent us
making the model explicit in a more abstract sense.

Cheers,
