Action 11: Boxcarring use case

["Martin Chapman" <martin.chapman@oracle.com>]

Boxcarring is the ability to include more than one matched notification in a single
message from producer to consumer. This is currently supported in the schema by the 
Notify message allowing one or more NotificationMessage in the payload.

In terms of a policy, I suggest the easiest way to express this is to give the option to allow boxcarring or not.
This could be a simple boolean: 
    boxcar=False means min=max=1  NotificationMessage and 
    boxcar=true means min=1 max=unbounded NotificationMessage.

An alternate would be to have this as an integer where the integer
expresses the maximum number of NotificationMessage per Notify, -ve and zero being invalid!
