Re: hasResult / Sampling in SOSA & ISSUE-90

Looking at the comments and reactions so far, option 3 seems to be the 
favorite, right? Put differently, so far nobody called option 3 a 
deal-breaker.

[I am *not* implying any kind of formal vote here and I am not assuming 
that these comments imply a decision by the group. I am just trying to 
coordinate my actuation part with the observation part to keep them in 
sync and that would work well if we use option 3.]
