I agree it's a bit unhelpful, but keeping them parallel seems to be of a bit more value than introducing a difference in one and not the other. > 2) There is no need to introduce the undefined term "multicast group". The property takes a single URI. Per web architecture that single URI designates a resource. What would you prefer to call it? Multicast group fits with the usage I've heard over the years in building multicast protocols, but it's been awhile since I did that seriously. Has the conventional terminology changed? > As far as I know, no MEP specification provides any standard > means of representing any particular kind > of address. The difference here is that we're using a single URI to name some sort of collection, an issue that doesn't come up with the other MEPs. In all cases the means of representing a destination IS specified -- it's a URI. Here I'm trying to make clear that the means by which the URI of the group is resolved to its constituent members (the possibly several target nodes) is not specified. That issue doesn't come up with the other MEPs, in which a single URI designates a single destination node. I'll have to think some about your other proposals. Thanks.
