I think we are in agreement. A good example of this is when a party queries a catalog for information on a product and the return data contains a textual description of the product along with a separate JPEG image. I envision both of these being packaged in a single multipart/related payload of the response message.

Dick,

Thanks for the example. My question was based on what David Marshall listed as an OTA requirement:

<requirement>In the OTA we need to send at least two payload documents
within each ebXML message envelope.</requirement>

I thought the answer that was offered to David was, yes you can pack these two (or more) payload documents in a MIME
multipart/* structure and send it out as payload in a single ebXML message.

Now, my question was based on the possibility that the two payload documents could generate two response documents, that could again comeback as payload in a single ebXML message.  I was suggesting that "when we apply this to the case of Synchronous exchanges, this would boil down to a simple straightforward extension of the model. That is, multiple responses (if any) would come back in the payload of the synchronously delivered  response message".

I take it,  there is no issue with it.

Prasad,

The GISB profile of EDIINT AS2 contains an example of a multipart
acknowledgement, here is how I've envisioned the GISB
acknowledgement receipt appearing in an ebXML Acknowledgement Message using
HTTP binding:
