o We believe that the Implementation Maturity of ISO/IEEE 11073 should be listed as “production”. There are many ISO/IEEE 11073 devices (>100) in the marketplace.
o We would classify the Adoption Level of ISO/IEEE 11073 Standards to be Medium (3 circles).
o We would also like clarification of why a “Push” (or unsolicited) architecture is specified to the exclusion of alternate approaches such as a “Pull” (or solicited) or a Publish/Subscribe architecture.
