RE: [provision] missing use cases?
Keep in mind though that a PST that sends a modification as client to the
PSP will need to be able to indicate (for the PSP sake)  that this is a
notification and not  and update to the real object at the PST (otherwise
the PSP may try to provision this update as if it was an RA requesting it) .
In any case, I would say that this can also be an extended request of some
kind unless we formalize something more structured in the specs.

Looking at the case where there is a local change on a PST that needs to get
updated in a PSP, there are two solutions, both supportable by our draft
SPML spec:

1) The PSP discovers the change using an SPML search (reconciliation).
2) The PST acts as client to the PSP (which acts as a server) to send the
change as a modification request (serves as an asynchronous notification).

I do not believe that we need to add explicit asynchronous notification
operations at this point.

We don't have use cases (nor operations obviously) that address asynchronous
messages from the servers to the clients.  For example, a notification from
a PST or PSP to indicate that a service has been suspended or deleted for
some reason other than an add/delete/modify request.

Is this intentional or an oversight on our part?  If intentional, how would
we address this scenario?  Discovery by the client?
