Juergen:
Thank you very much for the list.
The Connection Orient + State-full-ness between the PEP and Server may be an
important feature of COPS-PR+PIBs.  It allows the Server/PDP to allocate 
resources
for specific services with clear delegation of responsibility.  Hope you 
see the combination
of features as an advantage also.
