Hi Jun,
Thanks for your reply. It's tricky squaring a circle.

JR23: For GetTelemetrySubscriptions, I have changed it so that a client which 
omits the ClientInstanceId from the request header is permitted to specify a 
zero ClientInstanceId in the request body, following original KIP-714 
precedent. However, a client which specifies a ClientInstanceId in the request 
header MUST specify the same ClientInstanceId in the request body. This ensures 
that the header and telemetry UUIDs are the same.

Thanks,
Andrew
