F
Use one of the following categories:
F (Critical correction)
A (corresponds to a correction in an earlier
release)
B (Addition of feature),
C (Functional modification of feature)
D (Editorial modification)
Detailed explanations of the above categories can
be found in the TC Policies and Procedures.

Reason for change:

The service and version request parameters defined in the CSW part (cl. 10)
have fixed values (“CSW” and “2.0.2”, respectively) that prohibit profiling.

Summary of change:

Do not fix the values of these general request parameters; instead, stipulate

default values that may be overridden by a profile.

Consequences if
not approved:

It remains impossible to disambiguate profile-specific requests (which may
introduce extension elements that are not defined in the CSW part, or cannot be
ignored for a given profile).

Clauses affected:
