Detailed proposal to allow Batching of Acks and RM faults using ResponseReply pattern.

[Tom Rutt <tom@coastin.com>]

Lines 1019 thru 1024 currently state the following:

“
- *Response *: An Acknowledgment message (or Fault message) MUST be sent 
back
directly in the response to the Reliable Message. This pattern is not
applicable for one-way application level MEP. The acknowledgment
message that can be sent back in the response is for the message in the
request only. Acknowledgment message for the former request
MUST NOT be sent back.
“

To allow the receiving RMP to return acks or falts for former requests, 
the last two sentences are too strong:

Replace the last two sentence in the above quoted text with the following:
“
Acknolwedgements or RM fault indications for former requests MAY also be 
included in the response,
if they were unable to be returned in their own responses.

NOTE: In cases where the underlying transport connection is not 
available to return an Acknolwedgement or RM fault, a Receiving RMP MAY 
include that Acknowledgement or RM fault with the response to a future 
reliable message request with the same GroupID.
“
