proposal for ebbpsig:NonRepudiationInformation

Following-up on the 
level of requirement for the ebbpsig:NonRepudiationInformation 
element:

 

- 5.2.3.3: As Pete 
suggested, the core specification could be made more open to future 
profiling by stating SHOULD in place of MUST, for the presence of 
ebbpsig:NonRepudiationInformation - also lessening 
dependency on ebbp schema.

- the Gateway 
conformance profile will then narrow this further (MUST) by requiring it. (NOTE: 
the gateway profile is already relied upon to resolve options much 
more critical for interoperability, e.g. in reliability 
area).

 

This way, developers 
have a clear guidance as long as the "Gateway One"  conformance profile is 
the interoperability baseline, while the specification remains open for future 
evolution of practices (meaning for new conformance 
profiles).
