RE: [RTF] AC019 proposal to WSA WG

"reliable co-ordination of tasks" - what are tasks?
Co-ordination involves description of public processes in some flow
language.
(also known in B2B circles as "collaborative business process description").
I would still prefer "reliable messaging"- it means something well defined.

It wasn't intended to improve the clarity, it was intended to resolve
my belief that it is inappropriate for us to prescribe a specific
solution (such as reliable messaging) until we know the form that our
architecture will take.

How about "reliable coordination of tasks" then?
