Re: [ebxml-msg] Issue 42.

David,

I think you're assuming they only have the right to bundle the Acknowledgment
element into a message coming from the original To party.  I'd say
the intermediary in question could much more easily create a new ebXML
message from themselves containing only the Acknowledgment element.

Even in the bundling case, the Acknowledgment / From element doesn't
provide the receiving MSH with anything but logging information. 
That part of the issue is described better in the XML file.

To reiterate my resolution, I was proposing removing this confusing
and unnecessary element from the Acknowledgment element.  I mentioned
an alternative I didn't particularly like.  The best reason to leave
things as they are is the inclusion of this element (with ordinality 0
or 1) in the 1.0 version but I'm betting nobody has used it in any implementation
to date.

thanx,

finally remembered why there is a From in Acknowledgment.  What if
the Acknowledgment is not generated by the Receiving MSH -- if it is generated
by an Intermediary.Regards,David.
