Error to use when P-Mode not found

[Sander Fieten <sander@fieten-it.com>]

All,

I have some questions I would like to discuss with you about the Error that should be returned if an MSH can not determine which P-Mode should handle a received message.  

1. Do we want to specify a specific Error for this situation?
   
   
2. If so, which Error should be used?  
   Section 6.7.1 of the Core Spec lists the standard ebMS processing errors. Based on the short descriptions it seems logical that EBMS:0010 - ProcessingModeMismatch is the correct Error to return. However the description of the semantics - "the  header expected by the MSH is not compatible with the expected content, based on the associated P-Mode." - is a bit unclear because of the incompatibility between expectations and that it talks about an associated P-Mode. Especially the latter seems to suggest that a P-Mode is found for the message. Another option could be Error EBMS:0001 - ValueNotRecognized as the MSH is unable to find the P-Mode based on the received information.

Regards

Sander
