An issue came up recently during discussions in the HPC Profile WG, and
that was that the BES spec should require that the lengths of the input
vectors and output vectors in the operations GetActivitiesStatus,
TerminateActivities and GetJSDLDocuments should/must be the same length
(assuming no faults, naturally). Otherwise the responses might be a
subset of the expected ones. Maybe there are some other restrictions
that ought to be imposed (same order, referring to the same things thatt
the input referred to, etc.) but it was the length issue that came up
(since that's the aspect that's going to be profiled). We agreed that
this sort of restriction belongs in the base BES spec though; it's too
fundamental to belong in the Profile.
