[OGSA-BES-WG] re-evaluate removal of container model from BES spec appendix

[Ian Foster]

I'd like to argue strongly against this. As I said earlier, I think this is 
good material and I don't have any objection to it being published as an 
OGSA informational document. I just don't think it belongs in a BES 
specification, which should contain the minimum information needed to 
specify BES.

Ian.
