CR ISSUE : Generating non-reply messages

Addressers:

As discussed yesterday at the F2F, I would like to raise the following
CR issue.

Last Call issue number 89, comment 7 [1], brought up the issue that we
did (and do) not specify how to formulate anything other than a "reply"
message in our spec.  Especially in light of the fact that we have been
discussing how to map EPRs to WSDL, there are clearly cases where one
wants to know how to formulate and send a message to an EPR outside of
the context of an explicit reply.  In order to specify this, we could
make the following changes:

* Factor out most of the content of step 2 (all but the second bullet)
in the current section 3.2 into a new section 3.2, called "Sending a
Message to an EPR" or the like.  The remaining stuff would be section
3.3, "Formulating a Reply Message".

* The text of step 2 in the new section 3.3 would change to "send the
message per 'sending a message to an EPR' above, and additionally
populate the [relationship] property as follows: a new pair of IRIs...
<rest of old text>"

It seems that this would be a very simple change to make, and would
clarify our specification for any number of non-reply-specific use
cases.

Thanks,
--Glen
