Is this meant to be as in \"a == b\" or as in \"a.equals(b)\"?\r\nI believe the semantics ought to be as in \"a == b\", and thus the wording \"based on object identity\" would be clearer. In case of the latter, \"based on Object::equals\" would be better, in my opinion.\r\n\r\nIn my opinion, it would be worthwhile to update rule 1.10 accordingly by clarifying \"different\", for example:\r\nPublisher.subscribe MAY be called as many times as wanted but MUST be with a different (based on object identity) Subscriber each time [see 2.12].\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/reactive-streams/reactive-streams-jvm/issues/comments/207133834","html_url":"https://github.com/reactive-streams/reactive-streams-jvm/issues/318#issuecomment-207133834","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/reactive-streams/reactive-streams-jvm/issues/318","id":207133834,"user":{"login":"DougLea","id":2233919,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2233919?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/DougLea","html_url":"https://github.com/DougLea","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DougLea/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DougLea/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DougLea/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DougLea/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DougLea/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DougLea/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DougLea/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DougLea/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DougLea/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-04-07T23:13:58Z","updated_at":"2016-04-07T23:13:58Z","body":"Requiring \"equals\" was just to accommodate the use of proxies and the like.
