[ogsa-wg] RE: GRIDtoday Edition: Tony Hey: 'Challenging Times for GGF & Standards'

Hi Savas,

While someone may well have made the statement to which you refer, what
I had in mind was the rather stronger statement I've heard, namely that
developing WSRF services will be problematic in DevStudio unless MS
themselves provide support for WSRF.  The counter that I've heard from
the WSRF side is that the existing WS-A support is all that is needed
from MS; other support can be provided by third parties.

I still think the best way to resolve this is for sceptics and advocates
to "pair program" a service together and see what issues arise.

Dave.

Dear Frank,

Please note that the argument is not on whether library support for WSRF
can or cannot be built on any platform. If you read the message from
Dave Berry it refers to a statement which has been made in the past that
WSRF-specific libraries are not necessary if support for WS-Addressing
support exists. This is what my message was about. You seem to have
missed that part of my argument.

Thank you for the suggestion!  Be assured that I am very careful in what
I write. (I've learned my lesson from past mistakes :-)
