In your implementation, if your hub is processing a multi-entry feed and a
filter I specify matches only one of the potentially many updated entries in
the feed, what will you deliver to my call-back URL? Will you deliver the
entire feed or just the single entry that matched the filter?

If an update to a single source feed matches many filters, it would seem
that you would need to deliver a fresh copy of the matched data for each of
the filters that matched since each filter defines a distinct virtual feed.
Is that correct?
