Currently, the only MEP that's been defined is request/response. In starting work on the SMTP protocol binding however, I feel that it's best to avoid request/response because SMTP is not a request/response protocol. To do request/response with SMTP would necessarily be tunneling, and a major security issue. Would there be any objections to us defining a new MEP that represents a one way message with hop-by-hop acknowledgement, like SMTP? I see this as being reusable for any binding to a message queue based transfer protocol. MB -- Mark Baker, Chief Science Officer, Planetfred, Inc.
