KMLM List

["Gray, Robert" <Robert.Gray@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We will try to talk about this in the conference call tomorrow afternoon.

Issue 1: These elements happen to be a sequence of elements where order is 
important and the whereas the document more or less defines what I call the 
container.  The document if left unchanged - would and has caused confusion 
since the schema has a different order.

Issue 2: These elements are also ordered in a sequence in the schema but its 
more helpful in my mind to let the requestor know what the Data Format Type is 
prior to processing the Authentication Input Type.  It's also important to keep 
the main document consistent with the schema.  I think in this case I think the 
document is more correct here than the schema - but I'd be OK with changing the 
document for consistency sake with Issue 1.

Ultimately I think the schema follows the standard (document) or is a tool of 
the standard, but development will follow the schema.

Is the order of the elements significant in terms of "correctness"?  I 
understand the need for consistency, but is it "wrong" as currently implemented?

(I ask because I don't know, not because I have an opinion that I am trying to 
express through a question.)

The standard document has two problems that I can see.  I'd like to have these 
items fixed for anyone implementing 2.0.

*         It declares the Authentication Prompt as:
o    Prompt Input and then
o    Prompt Output whereas the schema was written as: PromptOutput and then 
PromptInput.
*         It also declares Prompt Input as:
o     Authentication Data Format Type
o    Authentication Input Type
o    Sensitive Data Flag whereas the schema was written as: 
AuthenticationInputType, AuthenticationDataFormatType, SensitiveDataFlag, Ext.


For Issue one, I would like to recommend that the document to switch the order 
of Prompt Output and Prompt Input to match the schema.
For issue two, I would rather have the schema match the document as I think 
that the Authentication Data Format Type should be the first element in the 
sequence.
