Scenario :
Loading a rls-services XML file to admin@example.com (XCAP HTTP PUT) :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rls-services>
    <service uri="sip:points@example.com">
        <list name="points">
            <entry uri="sip:point1@example.com">
                <display-name>Point 1</display-name>
            </entry>
            <entry uri="sip:point2@example.com">
                <display-name>Point 2</display-name>
            </entry>
            <entry uri="sip:point3@example.com">
                <display-name>Point 3</display-name>
            </entry>
        </list>
        <packages>
            <package>presence</package>
        </packages>
    </service>
</rls-services>

alice@example.com -> subscribes to event presence on -> point1@example.com
bob@example.com -> subscribes to event presence on -> point1@example.com
carol@example.com -> subscribes to event presence on -> point1@example.com
Waiting some time (10~20 seconds, approx rls, waitn_time option)...
dave@example.com -> subscribes to event presence on -> point1@example.com
admin@example.com -> subscribes to RLS event presence.winfo for the first time on -> points@example.com

Kamailio sends only partial state as mentioned in "fullState="false"" and "state="partial"" and only for user dave (last one subscribed) with version "5" :

If I am reading well RFC 4662 Section 4.5 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4662#section-4.5) Kamailio should send a full state NOTIFY for initial RLS subscribes and then it can send a partial state for updates.

I think we lose information here, but if a re-subscribe is performed I get a full NOTIFY, which is my current "workaround" :

1 - Initial subscribe
2 - If full state -> OK
3 - If partial state -> re-subscribe
