Hi,

I have some clarification on the subject draft:

Section 3.3.1 

Can you explicitly state that there can only be one filter applicable to a single resource within a single SUBSCRIBE.

I know that the intent is there but I prefer an explicit statement to that effect.

 <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Section 3.3.2

I assume that the individual resource filter override the domain filter for resources within the domain and for which individual filters are defined.

If you agree, can you explicitly add text to that effect in that section.

Section 3.3.3

I take it that this is a complete filter replacement of the old one with the new one. 

Section 4.1  (first comment)

It seems to me that what you are describing there with respect to the handling of lists & the RLS behavior for propagating the filters further down, belongs to the section 5.2.1 where the server aspects are discussed.

Or at least the later section should refer to section 4.1.

Section  4.1  (Second comment)

You seem to advocate that if the URI indicated by the filter does not match any of the URIs returned from the look up, then that filter should be propagated.

I disagree with that logic.

It seems to me that the list may have changed and that URI existed but was removed later, and as such propagating the filter is not the right thing to do.

Thus I would like an error to be returned to the user in such a case, which indeed reflects what the server is discovering.

Section 5.3.1

There is a statement stating that if the notifier did not examine closely the filter before accepting, it the resulting XML document may not conform to the schema.

What does examine closely mean ?. Can u elaborate on that.?

If the filter in the SUBSCRIBE is aligned with the XML schema, can that situation arises.
