4) The discussion of attribute caching needs significant rework. It has paragraphs from when only communicators supported caching and paragraphs about adding caching support to windows and datatypes. It should be reworded to describe caching as it applies to all three object types and explain who there is no WIN_DUP while there is a TYPE_DUP and a COMM_DUP. (and therefore no attribute copy functions for windows.)
I agree with that. A not so modest proposal (requiring work) would be to have a seperate chapter on object caching, and merge that with the chapter on the info object (which is too short on its own, and still has the hopeless "miscellany" title)? Jesper *
