The instance functions for AllocationCapabilities could probably be left unimplemented without anyone noticing, I imagine. However, I think that EnumInstances should return an instance of every AllocationCapabilities that could possibly be had through association with a pool. Thus, enumerate all the pools, create an AC instance for each and return them. GetInstance works the same. Should be trivial.
I can see what you mean with EnumInstances, although if this is how the DMTF wants things done I still take issue with it since it just feels like a broken way of doing what the associations do. -- -Jay
