I understand your comment about the relation to multicast join and not 
path queries. However,  currently, where  there's no rule in the 
qos-config file (or no file) that matches the path query, the SM does 
provide the SL assigned to the partition (specified in the query) 
through the pkey file but it doesn't do so for the Rate. So you say that 
for QoS = <SL, Rate> assignment one should use the qos-policy file, let 
it be.
