CAP-13: Defining the meaning of "*"

[Bruce_Kahn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

In looking up the defintiion of "*"
and "*.*" I tried to find it in the CAP-13 text or the ABNF and
I cant find it actually defined anywhere really.  I did find 1 defintion
in relation to permissions:

   all         = "*"

and this bit related to UPNs in Section
9.3 VCAR Component:

               
                   "All
CUs and UGs" are
   specified by the UPN value "*".

but I found no other text or ABNF that
defined the use of "*" to mean "All sub-components and all
properties" the way we use it in Section 6.1.1 CAL-QUERY Value Type
and throughout CAP.  I know we all take it to be "all matches"
or "all items" as in a regexp match but we really should explicitly
define what "*" means since we use it frequently in CAP.

I propose we add the following line
to Section 6.1.1 somewhere near the top:

        All contained
properties and subcomponents are specified by the cap-cols value "*".

PS: Note to editor: The leading DQUOTE
on that cited sentence from Section 9.3 should be removed.
