In the sense that having to tell the parent that "I want these 10 DS records 
now" and then later "I want these 9 DS records now", resulting in the transfer 
of 19 records.  I could say, "please delete this one record now."  I.e., less 
to transfer.

The tradeoff is whether you value the mythical property of idempotent 
operations (where an unintentional repeated request has no bearing) or value 
minimizing verbiage exchanged.

Idempotent operations has appeal, but having lived through it, it's not "all 
that."  The alternative approach means the child has to maintain state and an 
eye on the parent.

Anyway, that's a rationale behind it.  Not a judgement.

There are no answers - just tradeoffs, decisions, and responses.
