Re: comments from Clark and Haugen

[Karsten Riemer <Karsten.Riemer@east.sun.com>]

Upon closer reading of Jim's and Bob's comments, I have a request for
clarification. Jim states: 
A transaction will have zero or one responding BusinessDocument, but always a
ReceiptAck and maybe also an AcceptanceAck

Is this really true? Must there always be a ReceiptAck? Why?
I was under the impression that a notification (which is also a business
transaction) would have no responding document and also no signals. And if a
transaction does have a responding document, then why require a ReceiptAck?

What is the RosettaNet implementation. Do they allow a transaction to not have
any signals?
