1.  Make the clear distinction in the TRP Message specification between 
acknowledgement messages and reply messages. Ack messages are sent by 
the MSH layer to another MSH layer and are central to the ebxml 
messaging protocol. Reply messages are sent on behalf of the application 
or service and convey some meaning exterior to the ebxml messaging protocol.

The Business Transaction protocol explained at the Boston F2F meeting
distinguishes between acks and business replies.  It is pretty much 
the same as RosettaNet, which does likewise.
