[ogsa-hpcp-wg] Proposed rephrasing of the restriction on BES vector operations in the HPC Profile

[Marvin Theimer]

Hi;

I agree with you on this.  The BES specification is where this topic needs to be explicated rather than the HPC Profile.  It's something I intend to bring up at the next telecon call.

To me, the required matching of input and output vector lengths would
seem to be something that ought to be required in the BES spec, and not
the profile of it. I believe it is something that ought to be true of
all BES implementations, yes?
