    Description

      Subscription with added data protections is preferable over polling. It would make more sense to require it so that the industry begin adopting this mechanism more broadly.

      Current conformance reads "Implementers SHOULD support subscription. Servers SHALL support polling in situations where either party is unable to use the subscription approach."

      Suggest editing to read "Implementers SHALL support subscriptions unless either party is unable to use this approach for a legitimate reason, in which case the implementer SHOULD support polling until the subscription method can be supported."
