Certainly, but how does this relate in the context of an ADD
as Mark was suggesting?

If I had subscribed to receive iMIP updates from said symphony
group, and the first message I ever saw was an ADD at SEQ:26,
then it will not contain the above information from SEQ:25.  Right?

Further, in keeping with just "the most recent information is all
I need", I have absolutely no use for objects with SEQ:0-24 as Mark
again seemed to imply.
