This is fine to start. The IDL doesn't currently provide a way to find out what the changes are, for a couple of reasons. First, it hasn't been necessary in the existing use cases. Second, I'm not sure yet what is the best (most convenient) form for the change notifications. Anyway, I think we should start with the simplest possible approach, then make it more sophisticated as scale warrants.
