That's true. But who said "optimize number of requests" is a requirement?
More to the point I think you mean "minimize", not optimize. Optimization
always depends on the specific situation; it's also context-dependent.
There are always trade-offs; what's optimal for OCF Cloud is not
necessarily optimal for my sensor network. E.g. I do not need to "observe"
my temp sensors. In fact I might not want my sensor to take a reading
unless I explicitly ask for it. Requiring observation in such a scenario is
not an optimization, just the opposite, imho. In fact it simply would not
work in your scenario. My sensor only takes a reading when it receives a
GET, but that never happens since my GET is intercepted by your cloud
thingie.

Furthermore it is not a requirement that every server support observation,
afaik. Doesn't your design places a new burden on servers?
