                                 ==========  
  
     ------------------------------------------------------------------------  Topical To-Do List
   ==================
  
     (A) Notice that there is a bug where you select Scope::REFERENCE and  -   Instances:
         and the validation routines still say the scope is wrong for  
         qualifiers applied actual references (they are checking for  
         property instead).  
  
     (A) There is an odering problem when applying the qualifiers with      -   Implement CIMRepository::getProperty()
         association scope to classes. If the association qualifier does not  
         come first, then application of prior qualifiers fail.  
         Checking this should be moved to class resolution.  
  
     (B) Rework resolve() scheme (add clone() methods).      -   Implement CIMRepository::setProperty()
  
     (A) Implement instances.      -   Implement CIMRepository::deleteInstance()
  
     (A) Providers.      -   Implement CIMRepository::modifyInstance()
  
     (A) Figure out whether you really need _resolved flags.      -   Implement CIMRepository::enumerateInstances()
  
     ------------------------------------------------------------------------      -   Implement CIMRepository::enumerateInstanceNames()
  
     (B) Finish other CIM/HTTP protocol operations.      -   Handle inheritance in all instance operations.
  
     (B) Use the description that comes back with an error code in the XML      -   Double check that all these operations work across protocol.
         protocol. Perhaps it should become an extra message field of  
         XmlException.  
  
     (B) Source documentation.      -   Check that they have keys during validation.
  
     (B) Put README in each directory.  -   Associations:
  
     (B) Handle UCS2 characters in XML (parsing and writing).      -   Implement CIMRepository::referencesOf()
  
     (B) Check for overflow on the number of attributes in XML.      -   Implement CIMRepository::associatorsOf()
  
     (B) Handle PARAMETER.REFARRAY in XML.      -   Implement protocol stubs for these operations.
  
     (B) Add validNamespace() method and use it.  -   Exceptions:
  
     (B) Finish Pegasus-CGI interface:      -   Clean up and consolidate exception classes.
  
         Add GetMethod.cgi.      -   Propagate underlying error messages across the CIM protocol.
         Add propagated and class-origin columns.  
         Add flavor column to qualifiers.  
  
     ------------------------------------------------------------------------  -   References:
  
     (C) Implement Strings that point to preallocated char* that will      -   Validate arguments to CIMReference compound constructor and modifiers.
         remain in scope?          (namespaces, hosts, classnames, and keybindings)
  
     (C) Suppress error message printed by ACE caused by constructing an      -   Be sure that escape sequences are handled inside of object names. For
         address from a non existent host.          example:
  
     (C) Ignore extraneous XML elements (loosely valid).              X.key1="Hello \"You\""
  
     (C) Get rid of fullyQualified flag.  -   Protocol:
  
     (C) Handling of hexadecimal integer values.      -   Improve protocol tracing to show messages in both directions.
  
     (C) VALUE.REFERENCE within INSTANCENAME and KEYBINDING.      -   The TCPChannel::writeN() method blocks when the client and server
           are in the same process. That is because the client cannot read
           anything as long as writeN() is blocked on a synchronous write.
  
     (C) Resolve whether MOF is a requirement.      -   Figure out how to handle getProperty() return type.
  
     (C) Handle case sensitivity of CIM identifiers.      -   Provide ACE Channel implementation (for porting purposes)?
  
     (C) Figure out how to handle CIM null values.      -   Handle PARAMETER.REFARRAY in Procotol?
  
     (C) Make iteration scheme more general.      -   Ignore extraneous XML elements (loosely valid).
  
     (C) Develop XML repository importation mechanism.  -   Porting:
  
     (C) Move internal headers to ./internal directory      -   Replace "std::something" with "STD(something)"
  
     (C) Split up XxxRep objects from Xxx objects.      -   Replace "using namespace std" with "USING_NAMESPACE_PEGASUS"
  
     (C) Handle case insentive requirement on repository file names.  -   Aesthetics/Consistency/Usability:
  
     (C) Devise a way to detect whether a class has instances.      -   Change getLength() and getSize() to just size(): "Brevity is the soul
           of genius and of Lingerie".
  
     (C) Cleanup of execeptions.      -   Add methods to get objects by their names, in addition to index. For
           example:
  
     (C) Verify that fixed length arrays are properly handled.              CIMProperty CIMClass::getProperty(const String& name);
  
     (C) Check for null string pointers in String class.      -   Perform walkthrough to expose consistency problems.
  
     (C) Verify that instances are property keyed (during validation).      -   Distinguish between private and public classes (otherwise, users may
           come to depend on classes with unstable interfaces).
  
     (C) Thread safety.  -   Documentation:
  
     (C) Use UTF8 for strings.      -   Suggest newlines after methods.
  
     (C) Shrink object sizes.      -   Suggest use of "/** ... */" instead of "///"
  
     (C) Use lighter I/O system (get rid of C++ streams).      -   Refine header file documentation.
  
     (C) Provide conversion between DateTime and time_t.      -   Write Pegasus Architecture Paper.
  
     (C) Purify source.      -   Integrate DOC++ with make system (put all docs in doc tree):
  
     (C) Improve the representation of fixed arrays (is that pesky fixed-array  -   Namespaces:
         flag really necessary?)  
       -   Implement create and destroy namespace (according to the standard).
   
   -   Providers
   
       -   Add CIM-Server handles to provider interface.

           provider).
   
       -   Implement queuing.
   
       -   Make reference counted objects thread safe (Mutexing and atomic
           increments).
