>Jacques,

    I am looking further at your proposal for using the following as
<ConfigurationGroup/> parameters:  This will work, however we will have to set
"precedence rules" in our specification for their use.  I personally don't
find setting ConversationId, MessageId or Timestamp particularly useful
at the Config level.. because testing using a "globallly defined"
ConversationId, MessageId or Timestamp ( say.. for all Test Cases, or all
Test Steps)
simply does not make any sense. Besides, all can be explicitly set in the
XML PutMessage declaration. Do you agree?  If so, I would leave those three
out of the ConfigurationGroup list, and keep the rest.

<Jacques> agree with that... (but do we need in TestFramework spec
to explicitly say which parameters
can go in COnfigurationGroup / COnfigItems, and which one can't?)
So although I agree these values you mention would rather be specified
in the script putMessage dcl, it does not hurt to have the possibility to
specify them in COnfigurationItems - some future test suite may want to do this
on a test case basis, e.g. not to have to repeat a COnversationId in each test step,
or a CPA... agree that others like  that MessageId or Timestamp are uniquer to each step,
and likely to never appear in a configurationgroup.
But I am not opinionated on this... your call.
As a precedence rule, I'd say that whatever is in ConfigGroup is the default,
and will be override by anything specified in putMessage, or set by MSG...
