Shouls LCUP support replication?

Kurt,

Now that we've split these into two topics, please tell me why you think
that LCUP supporting replicated environments is out of scope. If it is,
then at the minimum we shouldn't have it in LDUP, which we all agreed many
moons ago was the most appropriate wg for this work to be in.

regards,
John

>From my perspective, the format of the cookie isn't the real issue.
The real issue is whether LCUP will support replicated environments.
In particular, whether a client which updated from replica A can
then incrementally update from replica B where the replicate model
has loose data consistency rules (that is, in replicated environments
where A and B may be out of sync, such as in LDUP-based replication).
Supporting replicated environments will go far beyond specifying the
structure of the cookie and require significant more work.

It's my opinion that LCUP support of replicated environments should
be viewed as beyond the scope of this work and left to future
extension.
