I'm just going through making sure that all the changes we agreed last 
year get put into the specs.

This section: 
http://open-services.net/wiki/core/Actions-2.0/#re-use-by-domain-specs
currently contains a paragraph that says:

Domain specifications re-using this specification **MAY** define new 
predicates beyond the ones here that link to actions not available when 
the response is formed.  Likewise they **MAY** define new [action 
types](#Types-of-actions), as [OSLC Automation 
2.1](/wiki/automation/OSLC-Automation-Specification-Version-2.1/) does for 
[future actions](#Future-actions); widely applicable action types 
**SHOULD** be allocated (by the Core working group) within the OSLC Core 
vocabulary.

However Automation 2.1 no longer defines a new predicate or a new type for 
future actions. However, it does define a new type 
oslc-auto:TeardownAction.

So I suggest we correct this to:

Domain specifications re-using this specification **MAY** define new 
predicates beyond the ones here that link to actions not available when 
the response is formed.  Likewise they **MAY** define new [action 
types](#Types-of-actions), as [OSLC Automation 
2.1](/wiki/automation/OSLC-Automation-Specification-Version-2.1/) does for 
[teardown actions](#
/wiki/automation/OSLC-Automation-Specification-Version-2.1/#Teardown-action-type
); widely applicable action types **SHOULD** be allocated (by the Core 
working group) within the OSLC Core vocabulary.

I am not anticipating any objections.
