Hello Bert, Thank you very much, yes you are 100% right about the intended goal of the IVIPTR RR. About Section 3 and 4, I totally agreed, and will explain it with more clarity specially the query processing. I am currently working on POC and in the next version of draft before uploading it I will resolve all the concerns on the mailing list. Once again thank you very much for your valuable time and response.
