ERRATA: Special Capability URLS are bound to specific front-ends
Reporter: michael.delgaudio@mris.net
RETS Version: 1.0.0
RETS Document: Real Estate Transaction Standard 1.0
Location(s): Section 4.13

Description:
Section 4.13 requires that any special function created be bound to one or more specific versions of specific front end software. This requires the server to be aware of every version of every front-end that access the system, and special functions will not be available to new front-ends until they are registered with the server.

Proposed Solution:
The MUST in this section should be changed to MAY, and the server given the ability to offer special functions to ALL front ends that may access the system. For example, in a given system system there may be extended capability URLs available to all user agents. These functions could be extensions to an API beyond those offered by RETS.
