Re: [provision] Asynchronous requests.

Doron,

There is (currently) no way for an RA to *explicitly allow*  
asynchronous execution in a request.  An RA must do one of the following:
- explicitly request asynchronous execution
- explicitly request synchronous execution
- omit the execution attribute (which could be taken as
   implicitly allowing either type of execution).

Does this change your opinion (that it is okay for a provider to convert 
a request to asynchronous execution)?
