Updated VOSupportInterfaces spec

[Ani Thakar]

Hi all,

I've posted an updated VO Support Interfaces draft spec, version 0.23 
at:

http://www.ivoa.net/internal/IVOA/IvoaGridAndWebServices/VOSupportInterfaces-0.23.pdf

This includes changes to the logging interfaces to fix some missing 
information as well as to update the interfaces to send output to a 
logging VOStore.   This part will still need tweaking before it is 
finalized, of course.  I've also added a note about access/security for 
the logging VOStore.

I posted the WSDL for the updated services in VOSupportInterfaces.wsdl, 
but I noticed that there were 2 WSDL documents for the support 
interfaces: VObsServices.wsdl which contains the getAvailability and 
registry metadata interfaces, and the other one containing the logging 
interfaces.  Since the latter are non-mandatory, I've updated the 
support interfaces section to include both WSDL files, one for mandatory 
support interfaces and the other for non-mandatory (logging) interfaces.
I updated the comment in the VObsServices.wsdl file to reflect the fact 
that the logging WSDL was in a separate document.

However, I note that the current draft spec contains identical 
language, "All VO services *should* implement ..." for all the current 
support interfaces, mandatory and non-mandatory.  I guess this should be 
changed to "must implement" for the mandatory interfaces, right?

Please send me comments, questions if you have any.  Cheers.

	Ani
