-1. We can't have arbitrary clients turn on Delta CAS mode for everybody else. 
This must be a global setting.

No client turns on delta CAS for any other; each client request must specify 
desire for a delta CAS response. A global setting for the service would not 
work.

So? I don't get your point.

I think Bhavani's point is that both CAS and journaling use the marker 
mechanism to track CAS activity. Delta CAS is a designed to optimize 
client-service overhead. Journaling can be used anywhere, and from a user's 
point of view has nothing to do with delta CAS. Instead of 
{{monospaced}} "if (this.svd.currentMark != null)"  {{monospaced}} 
how about using
{{monospaced}} "if (this.svd.casTrackingMark != null)" {{monospaced}}
