Yes, that's what I meant.

Interesting question. I wonder if it's really all that simple. I also wonder
whether it's sufficient to ignore the realities of time. For example, is
there any difference between a request/response MEP that spans a few seconds
and one that spans a few days? One would certainly expect a difference in
implementation although they're abstractly the same. It depends on what
you're trying to define and for what purpose.
(Please forgive me if my responses are particularly naive. I haven't been
part of this discussion until now, and I understand there's likely been much
debate on this topic by others more qualified than me.)
