I think that the general context should be a series of specific
context instances, one for transactions (which only talks about
transaction related stuff), one for security, etc.
I agree, for us, context has the scope of business transaction
only. Of course, it will be good if BT context can sit inside a
larger context structure defined somewhere else (like W3C). I agree with
Mark, we should concentrate on addressing only the transaction
context.
Yes. There are definitely going to
be requirements for other types of context (e.g., security, capabilities, etc.)
that will be needed in the wider business "transaction" arena, but we shouldn't
try to address them: we don't have the time, and probably not the
expertise.
All the best,
Mark.
