[JMAP] Re: Feedback on draft-ietf-jmap-filenode-01

[Bron Gondwana <[e-mail]>]

Thanks Neil and Mauro,

I have this pinned to look at.  You'll notice I did a "change the build tech" update to the draft and I'll merge all this input into a new version very soon!

Cheers,

Bron.

(i.e., The former is controlled by the person sharing the latter by the person it is shared with.) What's interesting here is the hierarchical nature of it — if you share a folder, you implicitly get permission to everything underneath it. I think the `isSubscribed` mostly only makes sense on whatever the top-level item shared with you is, or at least it doesn't make much sense to set `isSubscribed` to `false` in a folder that has an ancestor with it set to `true`. On the other hand, this is probably not going to hurt either, so possibly not worth worrying about and we can keep it consistent with the other JMAP APIs.
