Re: [Rmt] About Flute-revised open points

I agree with Magnus here.    I hope that Rod can review Vincent's historical summary of the issues and provide consensus or comments to help us resolve this.  

Additionally, here is a link to the message that summarizes the backwards incompatibility issues identified by Dave Harrington's AD review of FLUTE:

Everybody,

A follow-up to our long discussion during the meeting:

1- Concerning Flute version, the email that convinced
   me of the necessity to move to version 2 is the
   following one, from Mike, sent on Feb 7, 2011:

http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/rmt/current/msg01511.html

2- Concerning XML extensibility, after searching a little
   bit better in my archives, I finally found the initial reasons.
   See the following 3 emails (from June 2005):

* The initial email (from Rod) explaining why 3GPP proposed
   another schema:
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/rmt/current/msg00404.html

* The answer from Magnus, with the 3GPP schema:
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/rmt/current/msg00477.html

* Finally Rod's promise (yes!!!) to include this schema:
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/rmt/current/msg00482.html

That's for the history. The question now is what do we want
to do?

 Vincent
