Subject: Delivery vs. Submitting for delivery
This is in (at least partial) fulfillment of my long-standing action item to look through BaseN and find places where the notion of delivery needs to be tightened. There are many of these scattered throughout the document, saying things like "the NotificationConsumer will receive" and "the NotificationProducer will send/deliver" and a few other wordings. I believe that most of these can be fixed by standardizing on "the NotificationProducer will produce", leaving open the question of whether they arrive, with a special note early on discussing the distinction between producing and actually delivering. While reading through for this, it occurs to me that the whole organization may flow a bit better if we introduce the NotificationProducer interface first, and only then the NotificationConsumer interface and Notify messages in particular. In particular, I believe there are more dependencies from Notify to the particulars of the Subscribe request than vice versa. I also believe that NotificationProducer is the fundamental component and so should be discussed first if possible. I will re-queue this action as "propose text for the discussion of producing vs. delivering" and, given that we resolve to do so, produce an editor's draft with the requisite changes "scattered throughout the document".
