<p>I not sure subscribing to objects really makes much sense and it would probably quickly get out of control in terms of the number of subscription records.</p>
<p>What's really needed as we've known for a long time is a way to get some sort of subscription to an area that is actually accurate (ie only triggers when there are really changes in an area) but that's a hard problem. There already lots of tickets for it though I'm sure</p>
<p>So I'm going to close this as I don't think it would ever be practical to allow object level subscriptions.</p>
