Formal proposal issue i025

[Christopher B Ferris <chrisfer@us.ibm.com>]

All,

Here's a more formal proposal for resolution of issue i025 [1].

Append the following paragraph after line 437 in the spec:

In the event that a RM Destination receives an AckRequested header 
identifying a Sequence 
for which the RM Destination has not received any messages, then the 
SequenceAcknowledgement
element in the corresponding SequenceAcknowledgement message to the RM 
Source MUST
include an AcknowledgementRange element with both the Upper and Lower 
attribute each 
containing a value of "0".

Example of a SequenceAcknowledgement message for a Sequence for which the 
RM Destination
has not received any messages.

<wsrm:SequenceAcknowledgement 
xmlns:wsrm="http://docs.oasis-open.org/whatever";>
  <wsrm:Identifier>http://example.org/mysequence/1234</wsrm:Identifier>
  <wsrm:AcknowledgementRange Upper="0" Lower="0">
</wsrm:SequenceAcknowledgement>
