Dear Mr. Chapman:

Thank you very much for your comment submitted during the Public Review of
Devices Profile for Web Services, WS-Discovery, and SOAP-over-UDP. It was
assigned the number PR007 for tracking purposes. The TC discussed your comment
and has decided to accept portions of it.

Regarding the use of RCW 2119 keywords, the TC accepted the comment and
instructed the document editors to review the use of RFC 2119 keywords and make
changes as necessary, including finding alternative words to avoid using RFC
2119 keywords in places where the context is non-normative and the resulting
text would not be too tortured.

Regarding adding cross-references to defined terms in the conformance sections,
the TC accepted the comment and instructed the editors to insert appropriate
references.

Regarding the precedence order, the TC did not accept the comment, preferring to
retain the precedence of the normative text over the XML Schema and WSDL files
because the text is more complete, detailed, and expressive of the intent of the
TC than is always possible with the XML files.

Regarding the Conformance statement in DPWS, the TC agreed to add clarifying
language to the existing conformance statement without making a substantive
change. The revised statement will read "An endpoint is expected to implement at
least one of the roles defined herein (DEVICE, CLIENT, or HOSTED SERVICE) and
MAY implement more than one of the roles. An endpoint is not compliant with
this specification if it fails to satisfy one or more of the MUST or REQUIRED
level requirements defined herein for the roles it implements."

Regarding the Conformance statement in SOAP-over-UDP, the TC accepted the
comment and changed the polarity of the statement.

The TC agreed that none of the accepted changes were Substantive Changes that
would necessitate an additional Public Review.

Thanks for helping to improve the clarity of these specifications!

Best regards,
