Hi William,

Heather's choice of language will have precedence over my suggestions here.

I think the word "extend" is intended to mean "to be derived from". There is probably better language than "extend", or "to be derived from". What's the UMLish-equivalent term? "constrain" doesn't sound right to me. Maybe "subtype" but that term seems more programatic than architectural.

Regards,

Mark

I replaced with the suggested wording. I am still waiting for someone to explain to me what it means to "extend a manageability property". Heather, I believe this was your wording. Can you clarify what this means?

line 390: suggested changes for clarity:

Manageability capabilities define resource specific properties, operations and events. Details of these manageability capabilities are exposed by the manageable resource.

A manageable resource MAY also define new resource-specific manageability capabilities.

A manageable resource SHOULD extend a MUWS manageability capability when defining a resource-specific manageability capability that uses similar semantics.

A manageable resource is not required to extend a MUWS manageability capability when defining a resource-specific manageability capability that uses conflicting semantics.
