<P><FONT SIZE=2>I think the issue I raised with the InformInfo was a bad example.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>I reread the chapter. Actually, if we let two clients respond to a single incoming an-affiliated (unsolicited) MAD, we will break the assumption that there is only one response to a request. The SubnAdm.Report(Notice) has a response defined. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>After reading the spec again, I think the idea was that if a client wants to register to a Report - it should use a special QP for that sake. The SA is providing filtering by whatever InformInfo field is available. The Report will be sent to the QP the SubnAdmin.Set(InformInfo) came from.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>So let me revert what I have said. I think that having a single manager to each class is quite reasonable. Otherwise it is un-clear to me which client will be generating the response.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Sorry for the confussion.</FONT>
