[Bug 8165] Eventing: uniqueness of subscriptions

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8165

Section 2.4 (SubMgrs) says this
--
It can address the same Web service (Address and ReferenceParameters) as the
event source itself, or it can address some other Web service to which the
event source has delegated management of this subscription; however, the full
subscription manager EPR (Address and Reference Parameters) must be unique for
each subscription. 
--

how a subscription manager determines one subscription from another is
an impl choice.  While normally its true that the EPR (addr/refP) will be 
used to do this, its also possible that someone could setup a system where
there is only one Subscription per user and therefore uniqueness can be
determined by something other than the SubMgr EPR - ie. the userID.

Proposal:
Remove the last part of the sentence:
"however, the full subscription manager EPR (Address and Reference Parameters)
must be unique for each subscription. "

as its too restrictive and how its done is an impl choice - we don't need to
mandate it.
