New ebRS Section 8.2.9, Registry Filters

[Len Gallagher <LGallagher@nist.gov>]

Regrep,

Earlier today I distributed proposals for revisions and enhancements to 
RegistryEntryQuery and ClassificationNodeQuery.  Both of those proposals 
assumed the existence of new methods in ebRIM and assumed the existence of 
dynamic, non-persistent classes based on those methods, i.e. Path, 
PathElement, and SlotElement.

I see no reason why ebRS cannot assume the existence of those classes, 
provided that their derivation from methods in ebRIM is specified in ebRS.

Attached is a proposed extension of ebRS Section 8.2.9, Registry Filters, 
that defines PathFilter, PathElementFilter, and SlotElementFilter based on 
dynamic, non-persistent classes derived from getPath(), getPathDepth(), 
getPathElements(), and getSlotValues() methods that may be included in 
ebRIM. If those new methods are not approved for RIM, then the 
corresponding query elements can be deleted from the query proposals I 
distributed this morning.
