It's always been intended that one of the pathways into OCF specifications is for a feature to be "proven" in the iotivity implementation, and then proposed from there. I couldn't enumerate them, but there have been such features in the past. So I don't see a problem with non-OCF features. Now we could of course have a discussion about whether these things make it in in "the right way", whether they're well designed and adaptable to changes that might happen in the specification process or whether they become ossified: "we already are depending on that feature this way, so it has to go in exactly as implemented". But that's a different discussion (anybody who's worked with IETF knows the risks and rewards of going out in front of the standards) _______________________________________________ iotivity-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.iotivity.org/mailman/listinfo/iotivity-dev
