I split out this issue from Dale's email into a separate message.

Qian also had similar comments; obviously this seems to be something the
draft does not define clearly enough. I suspect Section 5.1. would need
additional text explaining the model behind etags in more detail.

However, before we try to come up with that text, let's see if we are on
common ground on some basic assumptions (as I suspect we might not be
there 100%). For the most parts the model should be equivalent to that
in HTTP (or at least to my reading of RFC2616).

Here are the assumptions under which subnot-etags are currently defined:

- There is a single authoritative notifier agent responsible for any
single resource.

- A resource is identified using a SIP URI.

- A subscriber subscribes to a resource using the SIP URI.

- With a successful subscription, a subscriber gets access to an entity
from the resource. (Entity is HTTP lingo, and basically means a certain
"view" of the resource state.)

- An entity can be influenced by different external data, e.g., filter
rules, authorization rules, etc.

- There is a one-to-many relationship between the resource and the
entities.

- Each entity has an assigned entity-tag.

- There is a one-to-many relationship between an entity and its versions
(different etag values, of which only one is current).

- An entity-tag must be unique across all versions of all entities from
a resource.

- The rest are implementation details.

Comments?

Cheers,
Aki
