Yes. You are right.Even subscriptions can be supported, given that they are not forwarded upstream and the filtering is done in the subscriber.
However, if that's the case, the two patterns would differ only by forward/don't-forward flag. And if so, does it really deserve two patterns? Isn't it just a policy to be set by the admin?
I would say this needs a bit more thinking. Martin
