[Weimig]it's just a top level description I think we need. i don't think it
conflict with the ideas of LFBs. Maybe we can add one more sentense as "The
information of a ForCES element all reside in LFBs in the element, therefore,
query message will actually query the LFBs for kinds of information." Does it
work?

[Weiming] This may be better described in the followed description. So, Avri,
could you please add the 'Path to queried data' after the Path description, just
before the [[Under discussion and TBD]

Again, I think it may be better to leave the discussion topic on attribute
ID/table ID here.
