Does the spec describe what a container should do if the specified filter is not suppported? Can the container use any filtering criteria it chooses in lieu of the specified filter or should it return an error saying unsupported filter?

My slight concern with this idea is that it is encouraging the applications to make assumptions about the container - I'd be wary of this becoming a precedent for defining complex group interactions between application and container. One of the key simplifications of OpenSocial is that the application asks for friends and the container gets to mediate the user's contextual understanding of friends for that application. I fully expect containers to allow users to choose different friend sets for different applications, and to define 'friends' in context-specific ways (for example, 'people nearby' or 'people who bought this product') that the contained application does not need to understand to be useful to the user.

I'm very supportive of the idea that OS Providers are free to define
top friends as they see fit. An OS Provider could even make the top
friends the first page of the typical friends call if they so chose.
It's extremely valuable for app developers to target a key group of
friends (especially for users that have an inordinate amount of
"friends").
sergio - if the filter is not supported then supportedField('filterType', 'topFriends') should return false. when an app developer makes a call with the topFriends filter when it isn't supported than the responseItem returned should have the error code set properly. as for the data set on the response item, that isn't defined by the spec. orkut could probably return null if you wanted to be strict or could just not filter the friends if you wanted to be more lenient.
everyone else - yes, the spec will fully state that the choice of "top friends" will be decided by each container individually. kevin - I hope this is what you meant by your comment but please respond if you disagree. I think that containers without top friends as a concept should be okay with this.
overall: this spec change is approved unless there are any other objections.

It seems like a common error is a better option that "pretending" to implement a given filter. Otherwise, if a filter we requested and a non-intuitive filter was applied, because the requested filter wasn't implemented, that could lead to some unfortunate results for the user.
Assuming we can do something sensible there, +1 to adding the filter.
