Description Doug Davis 2009-11-03 20:09:06 UTC

Enum says this about maxChars:

Implementations MUST NOT return a Pull response message whose wsen:Items
element is larger than MaxCharacters.

its not clear if this includes the wsen:Items element or just its children.

Proposals:

change the above sentence to either:

1) Implementations MUST NOT return a Pull response message whose wsen:Items
element, and all of its children, is larger than MaxCharacters.

or

2) Implementations MUST NOT return a Pull response message whose total child
elements under the wsen:Items element is larger than MaxCharacters.

Either works for me but we should let the people who have implemented this
sway our decision.

Thinking more about this....
I think option 1 is probably the better choice.
If we're worried about the size of the msg (for a small processor) then
we should take into account that the processor might be forced to put
the entire "application data" part of the message into memory at once
and that would be the <Items> element and its children - option 1.

Resolved with proposal 1.
