Multiple subscriptions from the same consumer to the same endpoint? #388

Open mlagally opened 1 year ago

mlagally commented 1 year ago

Remove sentence: "To minimize network traffic, the same listerner MUST NOT perform multiple subscriptions to the same listener." (This sentence doesn't make sense. I think you meant to to say the same consumer must not perform multiple subscriptions to the same event, but I'm not sure that's a good idea. There may be use cases where the same Consumer needs to subscribe to the same event affordance but with different authentication credentials for example. It could instead perhaps be recommended to de-duplicate event notifications to the same listener URL where possible.)
