Title: [wsrp-wsia] RE: [wsrp-wsia][I#106] Proposed resolut

Hi Gil, Somehow I doubt you changed your email username to =?utf-8?B?R2lsIFRheWFy? but that was how this message was listed in my inbox queue this morning. this happened with one other message, but only happened with you. Otherwise this kind of thing usually only happens with Chinese, Japanese and other ideographic character sets. It was just an oddity that I even opened it, and I would not have without the [wsrp-wsia] in the eleven visible characters of the subject line in my email client.

In any event, when did registration become optional? While the spec does not say registration MUST occur, it does say in 3.4 Registration scope: "This scope is initiated when a Consumer registers with a Producer and ends when the handle referring to that registration is released. As such it encompasses any entities the Consumer cofigures and any interactions with the entities of the Producer. From the Producer's perspective, this scope has a persistent lifecycle as the Consumer MUST explicitly invoke deregister() to terminate a a registration scope...

Am I misunderstanding the term any? Or, is requesting an entity not an interaction? I would rather explicitly require registration.

Ciao,

Rex
