Hi Jason,

My second batch of questions (and last one for today :) )

1.2.1 Base Protocol

- Is the goal the base protocol to specify the order of messages 
exchanged between services/clients to perform specific actions. For each 
of the messages exchanged, it must points towards the profile used?

- Have you got an example of Base protocol document?

- You define a protocol as a request or response. Isn't the protocol the 
sequence of message exchanged (i.e. a request followed by a response?)

- I don't understand the difference between the base protocol and the 
protocol extension. Can you give an example?


1.2.2 Protocol Extension

- What is a "type of interaction"?  The eventType, a request, a 
request-response?

- Whave you got an example of Protocol extension?

- Where does that relate with the profiles?


1.3 Individual Service Documents


In the schema and protocol documents, it is currently not indicated 
where the part that must be provided are. I guess that each document 
should highlight what is a must and what isn't.


For having the web-services inter-acting, we need to have a minimum 
common ground. E.g. for the timing, where do we indicate which time 
format we must have for each service to ensure inter-operability?

Thanks a lot.

Cheers,
Nicolas
