Missing Attributes

• Where attributes are omitted, they are assumed to be local. i.e. If server is unspecified, it is assumed to refer to the server in which the message is already.

Extra Attributes

• Messages to/from processes have an extra process attribute, which is a URI.
• Messages to/from filters have an extra set of 3 attributes, filter-direction (boolean), filter-position ('top','bottom') and filter-step (integer).
