Issue 10677: In section 3.1.6.3.11 regarding the FilterCriterion clarify some things (data-distribution-rtf)
Source: PrismTech (Mr. Erik Hendriks, erik.hendriks(at)prismtech.com)
Nature: Clarification
Severity: 
Summary: Problem:
In the description for the check_object method is should state that the membership_state is optional in the sense that implementations of the spec may or may not use this parameter. If not used it always states an UNDEFINED_MEMBERSHIP state.

Solution:

Replace:
o check if an object passes the filter - return value is TRUE - or not - return value is FALSE (check_object). This method is called with the first parameter set to the object to be checked and the second parameter set to indicate whether the object previously passed the filter (membership_state). The second parameter (which is actually an enumeration with three possible values - UNDEFINED_MEMBERSHIP, ALREADY_MEMBER and NOT_MEMBER) is useful when the FilterCriterion is attached to a Selection to allow writing optimized filters.
With:

The second parameter (which is actually an enumeration with three possible values - UNDEFINED_MEMBERSHIP, ALREADY_MEMBER and NOT_MEMBER) is optional and may be useful when the FilterCriterion is attached to a Selection to allow writing optimized filters. The membership_state parameter has a default value of UNDEFINED_MEMBERSHIP in case the implementation does not support this option.
