Re: Duplicate entries filter

These examples do reflect the
original intent of the I-D. While writing it, I had assumed the behavior
previously discussed as a) (filter, duplicate, return). Given the
usefulness of Kurt's example, I changed it to b) [filter, duplicate,
filter, return (if your server can do this more efficiently, more power
to ya)]. Then the notion of a flag was introduced.
I think a better alternative is to have the behavior be a)
(which in my mind is simpler to implement), then allow use of the matched
values control to produce the results of b). This way we are back to two
separate controls that have non-overlapping specific functionality. If we
agree to this proposal, I'll add appropriate text to the Interaction With
Other Controls section.
I do prefer two separate controls as I believe it easier to
describe
control combination semantics.
duplicate-entries: filter, dup, return results
matched-values: filter, trim, return results
duplicate-entries+matched-values: filter, dup, trim, return results
matched-values+duplicate-entries: filter, trim, dup, return results
other combinations?
