    Hi Bill, Monday (19 January 2004)

    My belated comments on the latest WBMM spec 'wd-wbmm01-20031231x.pdf':

    (1) Global
        - please regenerate Table of Contents (missing stuff) - thanks.

    (2) Global
        - change 'Managed Service or device' to 'Managed Service or Device'.
        - better - change 'Managed Service or device' to 'Managed Entity'.

    (3) Global
        - change 'WBMM Monitoring Interface' to 'WBMM Managed Entity
          Interface' (per section 5.1)
        - change 'WBMM Management Interface' to 'WBMM Management Station
          Interface' (per section 5.2)

    (4) Section 2.2
        - insert 'WBMM' prefix in front of the defined terms:
          'Managed Device', 'Management Station', 'Management Proxy', and
          'Imaging System'.

    (5) Section 4.3
        - change 'soap+XML' to 'soap+xml' (per RFC 3023 canonical spelling).
        - change 'WBMM Management Stations' to 'WBMM Management Stations,
          WBMM Management Proxies, or WBMM Managed Entities'.

    (6) Section 4.5 (and elsewhere?)
        - change 'WBMM managed entities' to 'WBMM Managed Entities'.

    (7) Section 5.1.4 and Abstract
        - change 'RegisterForMgmt' to 'RegisterForManagement' (because all
          our other operations have words fully spelled out).

    (8) Section 5.1.5 and Abstract
        - change 'UnRegisterForMgmt' to 'UnregisterForManagement' (because
          'unregister' is a single word - consistent with PSI/1.0 spec).

    (9) Section 5.3.17
        - remove erroneous '12/31/2003' from section title

    (10) Section 5
        - the diagram is damaged (truncated) in the PDF version.

    (11) Section 5.3 and all subsections
        - change 'legacy Managed Device' to 'Legacy Managed Device'.
        - change 'Management Station' to 'WBMM Management Station'.

    (12) Section 5.3.12
        - delete 'service or device' in Description (it's redundant).

    (13) Section 5.3.15
        - replace entire broken definition of 'notifyEvents' with:
          "list of event names to be delivered via SendAlert."
          (this was my error in HTML original draft of spec)

    (14) Section 5.3.17
        - change 'service or device' to 'WBMM Managed Entity' in Description

    (15) Section 7
        - in second paragraph, change 'of Schedule and Resource' to
          'of Schedule, Resource, Alert, and Report'.

    (16) Section 14 - Appendix X
        - please keep up this 'Change Log' at some level of detail - thanks.

    Cheers,
    - Ira
