RE: [ebxml-msg] Constraints for RefToMessageId in Acknowledgmentelement??

Dave,

	I believe the RefToMessageId in an Acknowledgment "MAY" match
the RefToMessageId in the MessageHeader/MessageData element. If memory
serves this was to allow bundling an Ack with an unrelated message. I
don't think bundling Acks with unrelated messages will be used very
much, if at all. I agree with you that this "feature" adds unnecessary
complexity and should probably be removed in the next version of the
spec. In the last F-2-F we discussed the possibility of refactoring the
MessageData element and moving it up a level. This is one way we could
eliminate the RefToMessageId in the Acknowledgment element. Thoughts?

element??


Is anyone able to confirm whether the RefToMessageId in an
Acknowledgment element "MUST" or "MAY" match the RefToMessageId in the
message's MessageHeader/MessageData ??

Thanks and Regards,
