Services messages in RFC 3730

All,

I believe the current text describing who receives service messages in RFC
3730 is too strict.  The text that I'm referring to reads:

> Service messages MUST be  created for all clients affected by an action on an
> object. For  example, <transfer> actions MUST be reported to both the client
> that  requests an object transfer and the client that has the authority to
> approve or reject the transfer request.

This means that the client making the request also receives a poll message
even through the client receives the same information in the response and
can receive the same information with a transfer query.

I would prefer that the text read like the following:

> Service messages MUST be  created for all clients affected by an action on an
> object that did not directly execute the action. For  example, <transfer>
> actions MUST be reported to both the client that  requests an object transfer
> and the client that has the authority to  approve or reject the transfer
> request for a server action.


Based on the update text, the client that MUST receive a poll message for
each transfer operation is below (requesting client is the client that
executed the transfer request and the owning client is the current owning
client of the object):

* Transfer Request ­ owning client
* Transfer Approve ­requesting client
* Transfer Reject ­ requesting client
* Transfer Cancel ­ owning client
* Transfer Auto Approve ­ owning client and requesting client
* Transfer Auto Reject ­ owning client and requesting client
