Re: Requirements for reliable message delivery

I agree with Keith.  If you're tunneling over HTTP, i.e. using it as a
transport protocol, then perhaps this is a useful thing to do, I don't
know.  But as HTTP is an application protocol, "reliability" must be
interpreted in the context of the application it defines.  This draft
doesn't do that.
