Proposal:
This specification is strictly request-response oriented. There is no provision for a managed container to raise unsolicited events. This limitation forces developers of management applications to trade-off network bandwidth for responsiveness. If it is required to respond to a change in state (i.e. a link-loss) in a short time, the state of the agent must be polled rapidly.
AMQP provides the fundamentals for publish/subscribe which is very appropriate for event distribution. This specification should include this capability.
