Steve,

Sorry for the late response.

I agree with your statement :"The INFOD registry will ...'

As for the goals:

I agree that 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 8 are in and 6, 7, 9 are out.

I think 5 should be left in, see the car use case.

Let us discuss 10 at the next conference call - my perception in Athens 
was that we like to allow publishers and consumers to offer at least 
once or at most once notification/consumption respectively. Certainly 
there will be more options as we move on

11 should be re-formulated, we assume identity management and do 
complement it with the INFOD registry support.

As to 12. We actually support the use of multiple filters - see use 
cases; certainly the sophistication could be enhanced.
