Re: an idea as an alternative to stored queries

The few proposals that I have now are (choose one, I'd guess):


1. Allow CUAs to store and retrieve VQUERY objects, much as CAP contains now, but explicitly state in CAP that interpretation and execution of the stored query is implementation-specific and therefore may not be (and probably is not) interoperable.

Yes, but not needed. The CS could just return this instance in times version of the query.

2. Define a small set of useful commands (as I have proposed before) which must be in all implementations (the GET-TODAY, GET-NEXT commands). This option requires all parties to agree to the set of commands and their implementation (i.e. what does "today" mean, etc.)


Side notes:

A) option 2 would _also_ allow cell phones to participate in CAP

If everyone could agree what is needed and what they did. Examples:

   I do not support VJOURNAL, I do not want to pay transfer those.
   Do not transfer attachments.
   Do not transfer DESCRIPTION
