1. Conformiq Input on TDL 3 Discussion

2. General
TDL3 should just be one of many initiatives to make TDL tooling happen
The real tools should be produced by the ETSI members
Goal should be to facilitate UCAAT demos and in particular integrations with STF tooling and other tools
Any TDL3 tool on its own will always and only be on part of the puzzle
Support of import and export is more critical than extend of actual TDL concept coverage
The TDL3 tool should focus on the ETSI use case (i.e., use of TDL in ETSI standardization)

3. On Editor Platform Choice
Conformiq has extensive experience in working with DSL editor implementation
GMF based editors require very high development effort
At the same time Conformiq has made very positive experience with editors developed for creating graphical syntax for DSLs
Conformiq strongly advises against using GMF in the context of the TDL3 STF

4. On Editor Implementation Priorities
Target should be full support for viewing
STF target should focus on basic TDL editing support
Atomic behavior
Basic combined behavior (alternative, loop, conditional)
Basic data (simple type, variable, parameter, any)
Backlog
Test purpose
Test configuration
Advanced data (structured, optionality)
Time
Advanced combined behavior (exceptional, periodic, etc)
