RE: [wsrp-wsia] [I#106] Uniqueness of entityHandles

[Gil Tayar <Gil.Tayar@webcollage.com>]

Good point.

But it's not that cloneEntity returns a new entity, it's that it returns the
same entity.

What the spec should say in this case, is that the "cloneEntity CAN return
the same entity in case there is no provider-side difference between the
two".

Thus we get back to the entity <==> handle.

While Gil is obviously correct in theory, it might useful in practice to
allow a producer to return the same handle as a result of CloneEntity. If
this entity has no persistence, there doesn't seem to be a need for a
different handle, and it removes the need for this simple producer of
dealing with multiple entityHandles.

How can it be other than a MUST? If two entities have the same handle, then
they are, by definition, the same entity. This is not even a MUST - it is
evident by the very nature of the definition of a handle as a unique
identifier of something.

Description:
Do we want a statement about uniqueness of entity handles within the scope
of a registration? Would it be a SHOULD or a MUST?
