Ok. > > query-gic-capabilities looks like it fundamentally returns a list of > capabilities. Returning ['GICCapability'] is just fine then. I have posted v6 just as Eric has suggested. At least one advantage is that it is easier to be extended (if needed) in the future, also to follow the more-generic format to use dicts rather than arrays. If you would not mind, I'll keep the dict interface there. [...] > In either case, drop the change to returns_whitelist. Yep. Dropped in v6. Thanks. -- peterx
