Dear WG,

In the process to revise UP to address the comments and make the protocol
as clean as possible, the authors identify one technical issue which we
need WG opinions.

Specifically, it is related to response (Sec. 5.6) to a filtered property
map.

The related new text:
"   The response MUST indicate an error, using ALTO protocol error handling,
   as defined in Section 8.5 of [RFC7285], if the request is invalid.

   Specifically, a Filtered Property Map request can be invalid as
   follows:

   o  An entity address in "entities" in the request is invalid if:

      *  The domain of this entity is not defined in the "entity-domain-
         types" capability of this resource in the IRD;

      *  The entity address is an invalid address in the entity domain.

      A valid entity address is never an error, even if this Filtered
      Property Map resource does not define any properties for it.

      If an entity address in "entities" in the request is invalid, the
      ALTO server MUST return an "E_INVALID_FIELD_VALUE" error defined
      in Section 8.5.2 of [RFC7285], and the "value" field of the error
      message SHOULD indicate this entity address.

   o  A property name in "properties" in the request is invalid if this
      property name is not defined in the "property-types" capability of
      this resource in the IRD.

      It is not an error that the Filtered Property Map resource does
      not define a requested property's value for a particular entity.
      In this case, the ALTO server MUST omit that property from the
      response for that endpoint.

      If a property name in "properties" in the request is invalid, the
      ALTO server MUST return an "E_INVALID_FIELD_VALUE" error defined
      in Section 8.5.2 of [RFC7285].  The "value" field of the error
      message SHOULD indicate the property name.

   The response to a valid request is the same as for the property map
   (see Section 4.6), except that it only includes the entities and
   properties requested by the client.

   It is important that the Filtered Property Map response MUST include
   all inherited property values for the specified entities.  A Full
   Property Map may skip a property P for an entity A if P can be
   derived using inheritance from another entitiy B.  A Filtered
   Property Map request may include only A but not B.  In such a case,
   the property B MUST be included in the response for A.

   [QUESTION to WG: Need to make a decision.] It is possible that the
entities in
   the response are different from the entities in the request.
   Consider a request for property P of entity A (e.g.,
   ipv4:192.0.2.0/31).  Assume that P has value v1 for
   A1=ipv4:192.0.2.0/32 and v2 for A2=ipv4:192.0.2.1/32.  Then, the
   response will include entities A1 and A2, instead of the request
   entity A.

An alternative design is to not enforce this decomposition. The authors feel
that the current revision is better but is open to WG guidance.

Thanks!
Richard
