RE: non-ebXML links - T2

The meaning of the value "Transport" is not defined for
reliableMessagingMethod.  I don't think there is universal agreement with
your surmise.  The usual meaning of the word "Transport" and the meaning
intended almost everywhere in the MS spec. is the layer below ebXML-MS, and
the only bindings that we have provided are for HTTP and SMTP, neither of
which is reliable.  If the team means that "Transport" means "Other" here,
the spec should explain this point and, preferably, change the value to
"Other".

David Burdett take note.  This is a comment on V1.1.

Subject:  RE: non-ebXML links

My understanding is that a value of reliableMessagingMethod="Transport"
essentially means Other.  There are other RM methods which can produce
onceandonlyonce and not be ebXML.  This is not the same as
deliverySemantics="BestEffort" which really means no RM.
