Randy Letness (and Brian Moseley) proposed a separated override  
record type
* Brian noted that Chandler calls overrides "modifications" and  
suggested following suit.
* Morgen Sagen wanted to know if Cosmo's modifications lived in the  
same event.  The answer is yes.
* There was additional discussion about what fields were necessary

Travis Vachon proposed changes to CMP in order to make account  
activation work securely.
* Travis and Brian Moseley discussed some refinements to the proposal

Brian Moseley updated the EIMML spec

Brian Moseley has implemented stamp diffing, so that unmodified  
stamps are not transmitted
<http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/cosmo-dev/2007-January/ 
002522.html>

Randy Letness implemented the modification records discussed above.

Travis Vachon pointed out that several pages consumed by Chandler via  
an XML parser are not valid XML/XHTML.

Brian Moseley has implemented User Service Documents for Cosmo -  
documentation is included in his mail message.

002529.html>

Travis Vachon proposed deprecating the single Tomcat connector  
solution for handling http and https urls and adopting one which uses  
two connectors.
* Morgen Sagen said this would be easier for Chandler
* Brian Moseley also favored this change
* Jared Rhine said that the change was workable for him, but that the  
real issue is URL portable apps, so that things like domain switches  
could be done easily.

Travis Vachon pointed out a problem with the <administrator> tag used  
by CMP.  The current solution requires the client to remember it's  
administrator status, and makes it easy for a user to accidentally  
remove his administrator status.   He proposed adding a binary flag  
to the tag to resolve the issue.
