Isn't this second requirement addressed in the "object query" requirement
that you suggested in another message?  I think that's a more appropriate
place to list object associations vs. in the "does it exist" query.  Could I
also suggest a rewording of the first new requirement?:

"The protocol MUST provide services to describe all objects, including
associated objects, that are transferred as a result of an object transfer."

We can't specify registry requirements in this document, and I think it
better to make the requirement more general as opposed to specifically
targeting domain object transfers.
