Subject: Re: RM Group Definitions


OK, if the upper layer is not supposed to establish the end of a sequence 
of reliable messages, then we need to decide how the MSH will do this. Do 
you have a particular algorithm to propose?

(My personal favorite solution *is* to let the upper layer have an 
opportunity to tell the MSH that a sequence of messages should be sent in a 
reliable mode. To do this, we need to agree on the Message Service 
Interface that would permit this... But if the group decides that, 
architecturally, we cannot have this link, then we need a resolution for 
solving this in the MSH.)
