Re: [ebxml-msg] Multiple Acknowledgment elements with the same actorURI?

[Matthew MacKenzie <matt@xmlglobal.com>]

During the face to face, there was discussion of

a) Fixing multi-hop, since there is a perception by vendors that it is broken or not worthy of implementation.
b) Removing multi-hop altogether, and possibly supporting it in the future via our new modular MessageHeader if BPSS/CPPA indicate that we need to provide this functionality.

We should add a note to the applicable requirement pointing to this email so that if (b) is followed, we can make sure the schema/spec restricts the acknowledgment element.
