Igor,

Thanks for updating the relationship document. I think it is now pretty
close to everything we discussed this morning. There are a couple of
things that may not be quite right yet:

#1 There is a single property that acts as a container for all
relationship instances. We don't have enough experience with WSRF-RP yet
to know if this is the best way to model lists of things or not. My
current gut feel is that we should leave the instances at the top level
rather than put them in a container. There is a little hope that WSRF
will handle lists better than they do now. At least now you can still
add a single relationship without having to send the entire list of
relationships.

#2 In section 3.1 you state that you MUST support
QueryResourceProperties if you want to support relationships. I think
this is too strong. I would not even state it as a should because it
will depend upon the circumstances. Embedded devices will probably not
support Query and if you don't have very many relationships you can
easily send them all in a get. I would change this MUST to just a MAY or
even re-phrase it as a suggestion to implementers that expect to support
large numbers of relationships.

Bryan
