Comments on proposed resolutions for Deployment Template Issues T1 andT2

[Tom Rutt <tom@coastin.com>]

I Talked to Jacques (who is away from reliable Internet access while on 
Vacation in France) regarding the issues for the deployment template
candidate CD draft.

Jacques stated that the Deployment template is not just for resolving 
interop concerns, but can be also
used for a deployment to document any decisions it has made regarding 
stated options in the spec. 

This information may be considered useful to a prospective user of a 
deployed implementation of the standard. 

The answers may affect how the deployment may be used at run time, give 
the decisions the deployers have made regarding options.

Regarding Issue T1:
The entire row should be deleted (both collumns of profile item b)

It might be better for the second column of the notes line to state the 
following:
"
Describe any mechanisms whereby the user of the deployed implementation may
exercise control of resending behaviour.
"

Regarding Issue T2 -

A user of a deployed implementation may want to know what the behaviour 
is upon receiving a duplicate request.

This may be useful for deciding if reliability of the response can be 
attained by the actions of the request sender.

Change the second column of profile item b) row from:

"
What is the behavior of a receiving RMP when a duplicate request is 
received, for which a response had already been previously sent?  (is a 
Fault be sent back? Or a duplicate of the cached response?)
RECOMMENDED / REQUIRED
"

Which of the following statements decribes the behaviour of the 
implementation of a receiving RMP when a duplicate request message, 
which requires a response, is received:
1) an application fault is alwayse sent as response to the duplicate message
2) a limited cache of sent responses is used to allow resend of the 
prior response, when this cache is exhausted, an application fault is 
sent in response to duplicate message
3) all sent responses are cached until the expiry time for the original 
request message
4) other - please describe an alternative behaviour regarding the 
response sent after receipt of duplicate response
"
