RE: [wsrp][wsia][wsrp-wsia joint interfaces][Draft Spec 0.43]Shar edTransient Information

In the interest of sanity 
and progress, I have broken up Rich's, Michael's, Monica's and Eilon's emails 
into four subjects - "Shared Transient Information", "Persistent Information 
Scope", "createEntity/createTemplate/createPortlet", "session and entity 
handles", and "Property lists".

 

This email will deal with 
Shared Transient Information, and the relevant quotes from the 
emails and my reply to them:

Well, it seems we're in the 
direction of dropping "shared transient state" from the draft spec (at least for 
v1.0), and having our first resolution on the draft spec 
:->!  I second this, as I think our interfaces in their first shot 
must be minimal, and this issue is a difficult and unclear one. Final 
objections, anybody?
