RE: more on the FW: Draft RegRep and TRP transport harmonization

I think there is a real need for reliable synchronous responses as I
described in an earlier email. The essentials of the case was where you have
a SME using something like Quickbooks, that wants to use HTTP to call a
remote service to do a payment reliably. It doesn't have an HTTP server so
it HAS to get the response from the payment service on the HTTP Response. 

OK I know SOAP does something similar but it doesn't, yet, do it reliably.

What we should be able to do in ebXML is have a single spec that covers:
headers, envelopes and reliable messaging that can work both synchronously
and asynchronously.

Opening the door (or not) for SOAP is irrelevant. It's meeting a real
business need that is important and we *need* reliable synchronous
messaging.

Just my opinion ... and I hope I haven't misunderstood your email ...

Could you clarify this ? What makes an RS client so special that it needs a 
sync. transport service ? This is in conflict with what I have said 
publicly and opens the door to SOAP.
