EDXL 2-May-2005: Distribution element : IDs

[Renato Iannella <renato@nicta.com.au>]

Hi all comments/feedback on 2-May-2005 version of EDXL for IDs used in 
the distribution element.

1 - messageID

I am concerned that this is not a globally unique identifier.
I would recommend that this take the form of a UUID for global 
interoperability.

2 - senderID

I am concerned that this only allows email addresses.
What if the sender is not human but a system (ie web service)??

3 - messageReference

If (1) is adopted above, then the value would simply be the UUID of the 
original message.

4 - recipientAddress

Same concerns as (2) - but since this is a URI then an email address or 
Web Service
location is possible? (Ie recipient maybe human or machine?)


Cheers...
