Yes, that's what I understood. And it is okay. Because the registration and
the agent visit are separate events, they are not treated together as an
atomic event. So this happens. If I register something I expect to get back
the same information I put there by registration. Which I do. If a service
provider changes something but the change was not yet recognized by a
registry (meaning "agent has not been traveling") I cannot see it. It seems
correct to me.
