I agree and disagree - the core of DIX will be transport independent. The only spec'd binding in the charter is for HTTP, therefore there is a "minimal level of interoperability" for the first set of implementations by virtue of having only one spec'd binding. After that there will be specs for other bindings and there's no reason why different identity realms can't implement their own bindings or all the bindings (HTTP - Web Apps, SIP - VoIP, XMPP - IM, etc,). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Hollenbeck Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2006 6:49 PM To: 'Digital Identity Exchange' Subject: RE: [dix] draft of proposed charter (#2) > -----Original Message----- > From: John Merrells [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2006 9:43 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Digital Identity Exchange > Subject: Re: [dix] draft of proposed charter (#2) > > > On 19-Jan-06, at 6:09 PM, David Boreham wrote: > > >> "Any solution should support multiple transport and messaging > >> protocols, including but not limited to: HTTP, SOAP, XMPP, > and SIP.

John, I would suggest that your charter should describe a need to specify at least one "mandatory to implement" transport/messaging protocol to ensure a minimal level of interoperability. I don't care if you use weasel words now to avoid picking one at charter time, but you should commit to settling on one. -Scott- _______________________________________________ dix mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dix _______________________________________________ dix mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dix
