Subject: Re: [Fwd: [Forces-protocol]
Presentation of the options for LFB-level multicast]
All,
I presented Weiming's slides just after Jamal's presentation
yesterday. No divergence of views on the principle of how to describe paths
was found.
Whereas, according to his slides, Weiming considers that the
distinction of Attribute, field, and index, must be reflected in the path
notation, the consensus in the room was that this is not necessary: a path
could be x.y.z, where it is clear that x must be an attribute, and y and z can
be field or index. No need to mention it explicitely in the path
notation.
[Weiming] Actually this is not the key
point. While I'm just a little afraid it may lead to ambiguity if ,
e.g., z can be a field ID or a subscript without tag to indicate
it.
The path can be constructed with
index-search or content-search. The consensus in the room was that the path
should include the whole thing, not only the first attribute, as opposed to
Weiming's suggestion on the last slide.
[Weiming]This is really the key point. We need to verify if it is
possible for a single 'path' format to describe all need for path.
I just think that, apart from the attribute ID part, others are tightly
combined with Data. We may feel difficulty to try to
separate path explicitly.
Content-search remains to be defined
more precisely, as well as block access. So it is too early to disagree
;-)

Thank you again.

I still dont see what where we have differences. If Robert can see that
difference i think it would be worth presenting it.
Sorry, but I don't think it's very proper for you to try to stop an
individual
presentation :)
The first step is to understand what you are trying to show.
Look at how many emails it took for you to say "i see the difference".
Sorry, I know the difference very well, just can not see why you cannot catch
it. That's just the 'i see the difference' mean.
Cheers,
Weiming
So i am not trying to stop your presentation rather trying to understand
what you are saying. Let me go back and read your other email now.
cheers,
jamal
PS:- Everyone i have talked to here upto before i went to bed did not
see any difference. This includes Robert.
