Re: Fw: [ws-rx] Issue 129: Define "discard"

[Doug Davis <dug@us.ibm.com>]

The problem with that wording, as Matt
was eluding to, is that the AD may actually process
the message - and that's ok as long
as it gets rolled back if the system determines that due
to gaps the transaction is aborted.
 Hence  the "behavior exhibited" part - meaning as
long
as it "appears" as though
the message wasn't processed.

Can I propose this wording:

In the following definitions of allowable values, the term 'discard' 
indicates that the Application Destination does not process a particular
message.
