mm1: We had good discussion last week in the editors' F2F which you have 
access to via the notes on Acceptance Ack and its relationship to NOF as 
well.

Work Item 39 Acceptance Acknowledgment
• Signals have technical semantics. RA is structural validation. Any 
contract formation should be part of a response. Acceptance 
Acknowledgment can include content validation.
• AA guarantees content will be or is being processed.
• Separate intent from the technical implementation.
• You can bind to attributes that are related to Receipt Acknowledgment.
• Legal community should certify technologies that are applicable for a 
specific jurisdiction.
• BPSS is a business state alignment protocol.

Note that we, at least now, we say will or is being processed, not 
successfully processed. That I believe would be involved with the 
response. Even in the v1.1, the response is substantive and infer an 
action against that processing completion. Does this answer your 
question? Thanks.
