RE: [ebxml-msg] Ack on Error, or Error on Ack

[Cliff Collins <collinsc@sybase.com>]

I like Error on Ack (like the 1.0 model) the best.

If we allow Ack on Error then it becomes really messy when there is a
failure on the Ack message. And when the retries are reached on sending an
"error" over RM does this generate another error of delivery failure? Messy
:-)
