Re: [Simple] Partial Publication of elements with more than oneinstance possible

["Smyth, Colm (Colm)" <smythc at avaya.com>]

Hi Pankaj,

Many PIDF elements (including timed-status, but see Table 1 in RPID for
a longer list) can be distinguished by their from/until attributes, but
there is nothing to preclude peer elements having overlapping or even
identical time ranges.

As a result, timed-status has (and I believe requires) no guaranteed
unique identifier within the model; for operations that require one, you
can use XPath.

All the best,

Hello Colm,

Thanks for the clarification.
For <note> and <display-name> xml:lang can be used.
But how about <timed-status> element?
According to RFC 4481, Section 3:
"More than one such element MAY appear within   a PIDF <tuple> element."

In this case, what shall be the unique identifier for any instance of
"timed-status"?

Regards,
Pankaj
