Re: [sbml-layout] [jsbml-team] Reaction Glyph question

[Frank B. <fbe...@ca...>]

Let me rephrase … even if there is a new release of the layout package, the current release is not going anywhere, it is approved, and as such the validation rules stand as they are (even if a future version might change them). As such it is much easier for a library writing that version to change or the tools supporting that version, than to retroactively try and amend the specification. 

But sure … lets discuss this at HARMONY … 

All the best
Frank

I don’t think there are many places (correct me if I’m wrong) where libsbml actually fills in defaults for required values.  This behavior seems to be a bit out-of-character for the no defaults philosophy.  I guess layout has this weird history, since it was developed before L3.  However, we may want to discuss this too.

We argued for years about the values for the specification and I’m for one am not looking forward to open that box again. Since layout pretty much contains just bounds and curves, i really don’t think there is a necessity to make all the elements in the bounds optional.
