I believe the strawman document may be too general with regard to these
items.  These keywords may be appropriate for subscription/notification type
model entries, especially when the subscription is intended to be directed
to an end-point different than the transport connect the subscription is
being requested from.

The strawman should be updated to cover an example to clarify this point.

I agree that there are too many documents.  The number of them has been
somewhat driven by different parties pushing for analysis of requirements
from different angles.  As we converge on content, we should be centralizing
the content.
