David,

Given the holidays (mine has already started :) I think it will be tough to
freeze the requirements before the 23rd. As a general comment and in the
interest of moving forward aggressively, I think there is value in
distinguishing between truly transport level requirements (e.g. reliable,
secure transport of XML messages over HTTP and/or SMTP) and higher level
requirements (e.g. non-repudiation, queuing, persistence, sequencing,
pub/sub, roll-back/recovery etc. etc.). IMHO, drawing a distinction between
core requirements and optional ones may turn out to be the pragmatic way to
move forward.
