Remove unused definitions #9
Conversation
|
HTTP, TLS, HTTPS, and URI are not referred to in the rest of the doc. Seems to me like they don't need to be in the definitions. @sdrees it also looks like a few of the references from Let me know if these need to be there for some other reason. |
|
@sdrees, right, 5165 would go with #6. Would the others need to remain if we only referred to 5165? The bib/README.txt needs updating as well. |

My rule here is simple: Wherever we use "well-known" terms and associate semantics with them (implicit or explicit), we MUST provide a definition statement by pointing upstream to the more if not most normative( maybe better applicable) source of definition. Point is the "Wherever", so if we do not spot any of the terms in this list anymore, we remove the reference otherwise someone will surely point out unused references during the call for comments phases. So yes if terms vanish for this draft definitively, we pull every plug and remove any place where we plugged-it in before. I would simply prefer to let the content discussion converge fast and settle to a strategy, and then remove all unneeded references as fast and easy, as I inserted them triggered by the insertion of those terms. Ok? |

Sounds good @sdrees. I'll just leave this branch and pull request around. Can always push more commits to it as terms disappear. |
This just makes things consistent with 5744dbb.
Consolidation of a few paragraphs, elimination of usused defs (see #9), removal of discussion notes (see #10). Text width set to 72 chars to roughly match the text output. Added: specification that optional altitude is meters above the WGS 84 reference ellipsoid, something to be discussed and affirmed or removed.

Obsolete. Definitions removed in my commit (above). |
Trim definitions list and accompanying references to just what is used in the text.
