Good that it was helpful!

One outstanding issue.....

isn't the answer to the headend-to-midpoint query an instance of the 
midpoint-to-headend signal?

from the doc, I understood it as if the headend can't tell the difference 
between a spontaneous reoptimization and a reoptimization done in response 
to a headend query - but there may be a difference I missed.

Not terribly important!
