Re: CMPI association provider

Off the cuff, my guess would simply be that EnumerateInstances and EnumerateInstanceNames were left off because they were implied or assumed, as required for all CIM objects.
And that only the additional methods of references were listed when these were left off.
For what good would any class be if you could not enumerate its instances?
