I was vaguely aware of this RFC but that is an extension to the DS Components
isn't it? That will have more capabilities I assume since you're not restricted
to the features of the current spec.
This is basically a continuance of the aggregate service but with a bit smaller
scope. The Aggregate Service had some basic limitations because not all
components shared the same view at the same time.
It is a tricky area.
I read the RFC in detail. Kind regards,
