RE: Specifying a language preference in the message header.

["Munter, Joel D" <joel.d.munter@intel.com>]

david,

are you referring to a preferred or default language of the original
"sender" or do you mean the most recent MSH (sender)?  

if your answer is the original sender, then isn't there already a place to
specify this on the sender party profile or in the TPA itself?  

are you saying that the receiver MAY be able to send a language-specific
error message and that the sender MAY be responsible for telling the
receiver what language to send it in?

I think it would be a good idea to have an optional attribute/element in the
ebXML header document that indicates the preferred language of the sender of
a message. This would be used, for example, when creating descriptions of
errors.

Even if there is a Party Agreement, I think that you might want to vary this
on a message by message basis.

Thoughts?
