Re: [ebxml-msg] Issue 42.

David,

I think you're assuming they only have the right to bundle the Acknowledgment element into a message coming from the original To party.  I'd say the intermediary in question could much more easily create a new ebXML message from themselves containing only the Acknowledgment element.

Even in the bundling case, the Acknowledgment / From element doesn't provide the receiving MSH with anything but logging information.  That part of the issue is described better in the XML file.

To reiterate my resolution, I was proposing removing this confusing and unnecessary element from the Acknowledgment element.  I mentioned an alternative I didn't particularly like.  The best reason to leave things as they are is the inclusion of this element (with ordinality 0 or 1) in the 1.0 version but I'm betting nobody has used it in any implementation to date.

thanx,
