Hi Bill,
I agree with you. The WIMS Objects spec defines the objects
themselves, including XxxId key elements, but it shouldn't
(wherever possible) constrain whether a given protocol (WIMS,
IPP, whatever) allows/requires those objects to be supported
multi-valued.
On Schedules, I suggest that WIMS protocol spec requires that
a single Schedule object (with Id=1) be supported and permits
support for multiple Schedule objects (with union semantics,
as though the set of Schedule objects were concatenated).
Cheers,
- Ira

Ira,
Thanks. That will help. I do think that the protocol spec should identify,
in words at least, the concepts and handling of multiple schedules
and leases although they are defined in the WIMS Objects document.

Hi Bill,
I'll try to go through all the Operations and Actions
in the spec for the new/renamed parameters or returns
and write up a detailed note for schema name changes.
Note that 'ScheduleDescription' and all the other groups
do NOT have an impact on the spec. Only leaf elements
(and not many of those) are ever mentioned. By the
same token, while protocol spec can mention leases,
they're now being normatively defined in WIMS Objects.
Schedule schema does NOT directly reference all the
detailed elements of a Subscription object. It has
four SubscribeForAlerts action parameters (like the
'NotifyEvents' list) and then a generic parameter
called 'ActionSubscriptionElements' that allows the
inclusion of ANY other Subscription element (which
the WIMS Agent may not support, if it's optional).
The overall impact on the spec should be modest.
Cheers,
- Ira
