Issue 6384: Persistence confusion in deployment spec (deployment-ftf)
Source: Mercury Systems (Mr. James E. Kulp, nobody)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: Paragraph 1 of 9.5.1 of document ptc/03-10-01 could be interpreted to mean
that persistence was somehow required.  Since this is not normative, the wording should be fixed to avoid such an implication;


Old paragraph:


Data model elements, annotated with the «Description» or «enumeration» stereotype (or a stereotype that inherits from it), are used to generate an XML schema for persistent storage of metadata.


Proposed new paragraph:


Data model elements, annotated with the «Description» or «enumeration» stereotype (or a stereotype that inherits from it), are used to generate an XML schema for representing metadata in XML documents for distribution, interchange or persistence.  The only normative use of such XML-based metadata in this specification is for installing component packages using the RepositoryManager's installPackage operation.
