i023 proposed resolution

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

Regarding issue i023 [1], I believe
that definition of protocol mechanisms related to the proposed
resolution:

"RM Protocol to support RMD pushing
back on the RMS for slowing down or 
stopping (re)transmission of messages."

When the WS-RM spec was initially published,
there was an accompanying white paper [2]
that made mention of a potential spec
called WS-Transmission:

"WS-TransmissionControl – A set
of constructs for controlling the exchange of
messages between services to improve
reliability by preventing message loss due to
service unavailability, overloading
queues and other causes."

Personally, I think that the issue of
flow-control is orthogonal to RM and really should be
addressed as a separate concern. 

Proposal:

I would propose that we close this issue
with no action.
