Jacques,

Thank you for your detailed consideration of the issue and for your 
suggested resolution.

On the Producer / Sending RMP side, is a similar operation required or 
would the existing Notify operation include any delivered payload(s)?

I agree this is not the best solution.

On the rather pedantic side, I believe you mean the "request / response MEP 
with no OUT content" sub-sub-option Tom described on the call yesterday. 
Our existing text disallows use of the Response RM-Reply pattern with a 
WSDL one-way operation because one-way apparently applies at every level 
(SOAP processor, RMP, producer and consumer).  Put another way, we have 
interpreted WSDL descriptions to constrain both the producer to consumer 
and RMP-to-RMP interactions; such an interpretation limits our options.

I suspect we need to look at the non-normative text around the deliver 
operation in particular.  At the moment, an implementation could place an 
incoming message into a queue and issue an underlying protocol response 
immediately.  When using the Response RM-Reply pattern, we probably need to 
delay such a response until the consumer has had a "chance" to invoke the 
Respond operation.  This may trickle into message ordering and the exact 
semantic meaning of an acknowledgement (again) but only when using this 
reply pattern.
