On yesterday's call there was consensus on a number of items. These need to be confirmed. Please say by 2011-06-30 if you object to any of the following:

1. We will use a globally unique identifier for a MS object. Although some people felt that an MS would not normally have a lifetime outside the lifetime of a CS, and therefore a local ID might suffice, some felt that there might be some corner cases that might benefit from a global ID. So the consensus on the call was for a global ID, although most anticipated uses of an MS element would be in the context of a single CS. Note that the nature of the globally unique ID is still open.

2. The content of an MS object will be described in terms of value from the RFC 4796 registry. Note that how this is conveyed (in metadata XML or in RS SDP) is still open. Note also that if additional values are found to be necessary, these could be defined by the appropriate means.

3. Extension data will be made part of the parent element, and not a separate element. Therefore it will not require its own unique ID.
