[ogsa-wg] Glossary defs: SLA/SLO

[Strong, Paul]

I concur with Donal's points.  I think that it's very important that we
explicitly make the linkage between SLOs and SLAs.  SLAs are comprised
of SLOs.

	Provider/Consumer SLA = SLOs + Penalty/Reward

SLOs are also associated with services in the broader sense and this
should be reflected in the definition.  eBay's search service definitely
has SLOs.  And I don't think one could easily argue that it is a
resource in the OGSA sense :o)

Maybe you should say that a SLA may include a number of SLOs. But
otherwise they look pretty good. (Also: can a SLO refer to an ordinary
general service, or does it need to refer to a resource?)
