ebXML: question to PoC team re. acknowledgments and multi-hop

[Philippe DeSmedt <PDeSmedt@viquity.com>]

Dear PoC-ers,

As you may know, the ebXML Messaging working group is trying to nail down
some outstanding issues w.r.t. reliable messaging and multi-hop routing, and
has created a sub-group to look into these issues in more depth.

At the Tokyo PoC, the feedback from some of the participants was that they
want to have the capability to route acknowledgments back to the sender via
the route that the original message took, rather than just having the option
of sending the acknowdledgment message directly to the sender. For this
purpose, a 'RoutingHeader' was created, which 'logs' the path that the
message has taken.

I want to make sure that what I wrote is an accurate representation of the
requirement. If those who articulated the requirement initially could please
confirm this, that would be much appreciated. It would help the sub-team in
making sure all requirements are properly addressed.

Thanks much.

-Philippe
