DDSIRTP2 — Add Property List Parameter Id

Source:
Real-Time Innovations, Inc. (Ken Brophy, ken@rti.com)
Summary:
User definable name-value pairs can serve as a generic and extensible framework for DDS properties. These properties may be serialized in parameter lists and thus need a corresponding unique parameter Id.
Resolution:
Add parameter Id for Property List.
Revised Text:
Add section:

8.7.5 Property Lists

Property lists are lists of user-definable properties applied to a DDS Entity. An entry in the list is a generic name-value pair. A user defines a pair to be a property for a DDS Participant, DataWriter, or DataReader. This extensible list enables non-DDS specified properties to be applied.

The RTPS protocol supports Property lists as inline parameters. Properties can then be propagated during discovery or as inline QoS.
