Hi Tim, I believe that the SWORD spec already meets these requirements of yours:
> What I've been pushing for with SWORD is: > 1) Re-use sensible paradigms from existing AtomPub profiles (CMIS/GData) Well, it explicitly doesn't get in the way of you using them, I don't believe. Although if you could verify that, that would be really helpful, as I'm not an expert on either CMIS or GData. > 2) Behave like an AtomPub implementation (i.e. don't MUST something that > isn't MUST in AtomPub) This was an original aim of SWORD 2.0. See, for example: http://sword2depositlifecycle.jiscpress.org/identifiers/ I believe that the profile as published in first draft meets this requirement, but again it would be good to have that verified in case I missed anything. > 3) Modularise the spec. and features to enable flexibility Also an original aim of SWORD 2.0, which is what led us towards the structure presented on the website: http://swordapp.org/sword-v2/sword-v2-specifications/ There are 4 Internet Draft style documents which break the various parts of sword out into re-usable specifications, and a profile which draws them together into SWORD 2.0. Is this sufficiently modular, or did you have further modularisation in mind? I was thinking about modularising the profile itself, but it seemed correct to keep the whole CRUD stuff together. I imagined, for example, breaking authNZ out into a separate profile at some undetermined time in the future. > I just echo what Dave Tarrant has said about talking in real-time with > this.

Can you give us a few examples of what you imagined?
