[legalxml-courtfiling-certification] Latest requirements version

Attached is Version 0.5 of the Certification
Requirements.  It incorporates changes in response to comments submitted
by several people, including Diane Lewis, Dallas Powell, and John
Messing.  It does not yet incorporate any changes potentially resulting
from Catherine Krause's suggestion that her ad hoc working group be folded into
the Certification Subcommittee.

 

We are almost one month behind my original schedule for
submitting the requirements document to public comment.  Please submit any
additional comments by the end of this week (October 25).  After that
date, I ask Roger Winters to format the draft in standard OASIS format and post
it for TC and public comment.  The planned public comment period is two
weeks.

 

One additional editorial comment.  A requirements
document is typically much shorter and less detailed than an actual standard or
specification.  For example, the W3C XML Signature requirements document
is 6 pages, but the actual standard is 82 pages.  I make this obvious
remark to remind everyone that any applicable issues being debated around
interoperability testing and certification will probably be better dealt with in
the details of the actual standard rather than the requirements document, which
is high-level, broad and summary.  On the other hand, note that I did add
language about conformance levels in the draft.

 

Finally, any mistakes or misinterpretations of comments in
the draft are my responsibility and I appreciate any and all constructive
criticism.
