Hi incr-update-sse authors and all, I have a question about the current update stream control design in incr-updates-sse.
In the last paragraph of Section 7.6.2, the document writes "When the client uses the stream control service to stop updates for one or more resources (Section 8 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-alto-incr-update-sse-09#section-8>), the ALTO server MUST send a control event (Section 6.3 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-alto-incr-update-sse-09#section-6.3>) whose "remove" field has the client-ids of those resources." As section 7 defines "Update Stream Service", this paragraph means the ALTO server MUST send a control event in the update stream to notify the client the status of a stream control service request. Why do we want to use a different channel to return the output? Why not return this control event from the response of update stream control service? I feel it will introduce the unnecessary complexity. Can anyone of authors elaborate the reason for this design? Thanks, Jensen
