Chris you said ...
>>>I really don't think that it is asking too much to require that all nodes
adopt RM semantics if OnceAndOnlyOnce is specified.<<<
I disagree. I recently included a reply to this in a recent email. However I
think it worth repeating here ...
"I agree in the use case you suggest (i.e. SMTP) that the intermediaries can
be ignored from a RM perspective. However I was thinking though of another
use case ...
Suppose you have three parties, A, B and C. B is an intermediary. A & B
agree to use ebXML. B and C agree to use the BizTalk Framework (which also
supports reliable messaging). So you can get end-to-end reliable messaging
as all hops are reliable. I think your words would not allow this use case
because the second hop is not ebXML. How would you make this use case work?"

PS. It's nice to agree most (but not all) the time ;)
