mm1: You cannot imply Receipt Ack is successful unless the business 
rules allow for that. As you point out there is an inherent chance of 
failure any assumptions that are made (and timeouts could apply as 
well).  This should be discussed by the team.

mm1: As you have indicated they have different meanings. We need to 
investigate the tradeoffs between what is declaratively defined and 
possible (at design time) and be at least conscious of what can happen 
later.  I am certain the team will have further discussion on this topic 
as we go into the new year and plan for the F2F.
Thanks.
