Poco alignment: some minor mistakes need to be changed on the 0.9 RESTful spec?

["Jacky Wang (王超)" <ch...@google.com>]

Hi All,

I'm doing the poco alignment for PHP Shindig recently.  When reading through
the spec, I found some in-consistence between the spec and the
implementation.

I've composed a complete side-by-side comparison matrix of Portable
Contacts, OpenSocial 0.9 Spec (description), OpenSocial 0.9 XML schema, Java
Shindig and PHP Shindig on http://bit.ly/PocoAlignment.

For some tricky cases, like person.age, person.anniversary, etc. I still
don't know whether we should keep them or throw them away...

Any ideas?

Thanks,
- Jacky

Thanks for the input!  I've forwarded your mail to opensocial spec group @
http://groups.google.com/group/opensocial-and-gadgets-spec/browse_thread/thread/dab9259d623c1397/bc704b41e6f5672b#bc704b41e6f5672b

Let's finalize the decision. :D

Thanks,
Jacky
