IMHO, there is no harm to have duplicate ACKs. In fact, it will be clear 
to the implementations of WSRM receiver that one ACK will be issued for 
each incoming message, regardless of the WSRM features employed.

Agreed. Once again, I think ACK could be independent of other WSRM 
functionalities (like ordering and duplicate elimination).
