Jack, Just a couple of comments ....
2.1 How does the "Maintainability" statement actually fair when we take into account the fact that the AI service stores copies of added manifests internally rather then referencing the original files to get the content? 5.1.3 - last paragraph I'm not quite sure what this "second set of criteria" or "setup criteria" means. But its certainly not defined in the derived manifest functional spec. 5.2 As I expressed in the meeting, I would prefer that our tooling not have to construct the separate DTD formatted file from content in the single-file scenario so that it can then be validated as a DTD, just to support having a single-file format scenario. If we're designing what we've been calling this "configuration section" to just simply be an SMF profile file, then there are boundaries around that that we just shouldn't cross. thanks, -ethan Jack Schwartz wrote: > Hi everyone. > > Please find the latest version of the Manifest Inter-File Organization > functional spec.
