Subject: Re: [wsdm] MEP Edits from todays Conference Call
Hello, I also have another quibble that I didn't want to get into on the call. I don't know if anyone else considers this important or not. By at least one definition, a notification is an unsolicited message (typically from managed resource to manager). While we often assume notifications are asynchronous (such as an SNMP Trap), it isn't necessarily so. Other related discussions talk about using request-response approach, but simply having an "I received it" response automatically sent. This would work for notifications as well. In fact, one could argue that if you want FR003.3, guaranteed delivery of notifications, that having an "I received it" response from the receiver would be beneficial. In summary, I present the case that we need not link Notifications being originated from the managed resource with asynchronous messaging. Thanks.
