re: stored queries

I may be muddying the water here, I am about to leave on un-connected 
travel, so I hate to start a discussion since I don't have time to search 
RFC2445 for details until Monday, but this occurred to me this morning and 
so I submit it to the group.

RFC2445 allows for x-comp and iana-comp in 4.6.   This allows any CS / CUA 
that wants to to support stored queries as x-comp members within the CS 
unless I'm overlooking something else (see above for time shortage).

I propose that we drop all stored query items from CAP (and for that matter 
iTIP / iMIP and any other CUA protocols). Any implementation which wants to 
do so can support them via the x-comp facility. It looks to me as though 
you can still search for the objects with VQUERY.

The X- stands for 'experimental', so this would allow us to wait until some 
"real world" experience has developed around stored queries before we make 
it a non-experimental part of the RFC; it also removes the burden (from us) 
of figuring out the CAP handling of such items in detail, moving the CAP 
closer to being done.
