    Subject: RE: [emergency] Re: Circle and Polygon


    "I haven't heard any actual implementer report any of this as a  
    problem... nor have I heard any technical reason why it should one.   
    This whole topic seems to be based on a hypothetical concern for some  
    third parties' sensitivities." 
    
    That speaks for itself.  
    
    Renato is asking that legacy systems be supported by a 
    system reference flag.  It is a reasonable request that 
    we honor every day when customizing our systems for 
    customers in response to RFPs.
    
    One can add the flag in their own namespace or 
    that of the customer.  This means of proprietary 
    extension is reasonable to use when the normative 
    specification offers no support.  If a CAP validator 
    balks, the validator is wrong.

    With all due respect, Claude, there's a difference between a  
    suggestion and a requirement.  The requirements for CAP and for EDXL  
    were considered at some length and adopted by this TC... and  
    supporting alternate CRSs isn't among them.  (And we did go over this  
    material at some length back during the CAP 1.0 deliberations.)
    
    And I don't think anyone's credentials have been questioned here.   
    We've all seen what happens when issue discussions deteriorate into  
    ad-hominem, and I hope and believe that we're all making a special  
    effort to stick to the facts and leave opinions and speculation about  
    other folks' motives to one side.
