And if it becomes a problem we might in a future version be able to add something like a 'messagepostfailed' event that is fired on the sending port in case a message failed to reach its target for one reason or another. However before we add any such mechanisms I think we should gain some implementation experience. It has been raised that even the current spec might be very hard to implement in a cross-process situation and so we should be careful to add more complexity. / Jonas
