Kai,

It never occurred to me that someone might send an ADD & REMOVE for the same
id in the same control message. I¹ll make it clear that is illegal.

I¹ll try to revise the draft by Friday. Would you or anyone else like to
look it over before I officially post it as a new version?

Wendy,

1. That makes perfect sense and thanks for the clarification.

2. Maybe it's just my paranoia but I feel worried about "what if someone
squash ADD/REMOVE for the same request-id in one request".  May I suggest
that we add a statement that this behaviour is undefined and must be
avoided?

Sorry for my obsession with these details...Thanks!

Regards,
Kai
