Hi Jim,

thanks, for the questions.
One explanation for one question.

*  In section 5.3, I don't understand why the rule exists that if the
attribute values are different then the location of the registration needs
to be changed.   It seems that this could lead to some interesting conflicts
in behavior depending on what messages are used.  For example  (content
omitted for clarity):

POST /rd?ep=e1&foo=over

Res: 2.01 Created
Location-Path: /rd/4001

POST /rd?ep=e1&foo=under

Res: 2.01 Created
Location-Path: /rd/4002

As opposed to:

POST /rd?ep=e1&foo=over

Res: 2.01 Created
Location-Path: /rd/4001

POST /rd/4001?foo=under

Res: 2.01 Changed

<pvds>
The feeling was that a first ep having done the earlier registration /rd/4001 
should not be able to manipulate the 2nd registration by a 2nd ep, by removing /rd/4001
and having a registration /rd/4002 only known to 2nd ep.
</pvds>

[JLS] The only problem with this is that the query of endpoints needs to be changed so that the endpoint locations are not returned.  Once the query is done then the location is known to a 2nd ep.
