Small detail on REL-39 resolution [Re: [wsrm] Prelim Minutes ThursdayFace to Face]

[Doug Bunting <Doug.Bunting@Sun.COM>]

Noticed as I was re-reading through these minutes...

This may be an editorial issue even though we agreed to specific words
in this resolution.  The new text in 3.2.2 tells implementers they must
always provide some type of response to the sender.  To avoid this
confusion, I suggest each description of rm:ReplyPattern values be
changed slightly.  How would the group like to handle this issue (as an
editorial matter or a new technical issue)?

BTW, what does "MANDATORY" mean?  Is that some new terminology for "in
every compliant WS-Reliability message"?

We currently have:
----
3.2.2 RMReplyPattern Element

The RMReplyPattern element is used for a sender to indicate what RM
reply pattern is requested. The RMReplyPattern element is a MANDATORY
element. This element is used to specify whether the Acknowledgment
Message (or RM fault messages) should be sent back directly in the reply
to the reliable message, in a separate callback request, or in the
response to a separate poll request.

This element MUST have one of the following three values.
    - Response : An Acknowledgment Message (or RM Fault message) MUST be
sent back directly in the Reply to the Reliable Message.  This pattern
is not applicable for one-way application level MEP
    - Callback: An Acknowledgment Message (or RM Fault message) MUST be
sent as a callback request, using the address in the  ReplyTo element
    - Poll: An Acknowledgement Message(or RM Fault message) MUST be sent
as a response to a poll request
----

The last should instead say (modulo additional word smithing, maybe
shortening):
----
...
    - Response : Any Acknowledgment or RM Fault message the receiver
needs to send in reply to this message (any message generated by the
receiving RMP with RefToGroupID and RefToSequenceNo equal to the value
of this message's GroupID and SequenceNumber, respectively) MUST be sent
back directly in the Reply to the Reliable Message.  This pattern is not
applicable for one-way application level MEP.
    - Callback: Any Acknowledgment or RM Fault message the receiver
needs to send in reply to this message MUST be sent as a callback
request, using the address in the ReplyTo element.
    - Poll: Any Acknowledgment or RM Fault message the receiver needs to
send in reply to this message MUST be sent as a response to a poll request.
