Re: Content-ID

[Michael Joya <mike.joya@xmlglobal.com>]

    Saikat Saha writes, "As per ebXML TRP 0.92, we do not have any Content-ID
for the message envelope as such although we have Content-ID for Header
envelope as well as for the Payload envelope." He then asks, "Don't we need
Content-Id for the entire message?"

    It should be satisfactory to identify a message using the MessageID
element located in the EbxmlHeader. That id alone should distinguish one ebxml
message from the universe of other ebxml messages. If you included Content-Id
in the Message envelope, you would be identifying a single instance of
multipart/related content. This may have merits on its own account, but
I don't see how it would contribute to the ebxml message protocol.
