Yes. Broadcast is something we added via UP. It is not part of the SPS spec.

Yes

Yes, only version. That is why it's called "Simple". It is meant only to inform the app that new information is available for a particular channel and it is up to the app to decide what to do with it. That way, the app has choices. It could immediately fetch the new data, it could prompt the user that new data is available, etc.
