If the MS specification provides only one reliable-messaging algorithm, then this is fully covered by the deliverySemantics attribute and there is no need for the reliableMessagingMethod attribute. Also, I can't find any description of the what the "Transport" value of reliableMessagingMethod is for, Since the word "Transport" appears in the header of each page, it's a bit hard to search on this one, especially with Acrobat's very primitive search function. I assume that what is meant is that reliability is provided, if at all, by the Transport layer. We don't have a binding for any transport that provides reliable messaging. I suppose that there will be one some day for HTTPR if it becomes a standard. In any case, reliableMessagingMethod="Transport" is exactly the same as deliverySemantics="bestEffort". Both mean that reliability is not provided by ebXML; it MIGHT be provided by the transport. So, I see no reason to have both.

They are implementer choices, not part of the ebXML-MS spec. Just to make sure that I understand your position: Do we also feel that we should eliminate the reliableMessagingMethod attribute, section 8.7.4, and section 10.1.2? ---------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe or unsubscribe from this elist use the subscription manager: <http://lists.oasis-open.org/ob/adm.pl>
