                 Key: MQTT-107
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/MQTT-107
             Project: OASIS Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) TC
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Allan Stockdill-Mander 


"A subscribe request which contains a Topic Filter that is identical to an existing Subscription's Topic Filter completely replaces that existing Subscription with a new Subscription." - from section 3.8.4 appears to be a normative statement specifying particular (testable) behaviour in the case of a SUBSCRIBE replacing an existing subscription, but does not appear in the list of normative statements.

Are we sure that all normative statements are listed there? Should it be possible to read only the list of normative statements and produce and compliant implementation? If so and statements such as the above have been excluded (and additionally have no RFC language in them) what is their status now? If the list is not considered comprehensive and you need to read the whole spec (and given that we have explicitly called out non normative content in the spec, implying everything else is normative) what is the value of the list?
