RE: Champions for Draft-status requirements?

I would not have thought so, personally -- but perhaps it might.  There is a
phrase about "service level agreements", and I guess this sounds like it is
somewhere in the same ballpark ... But to me "reliable messaging" has
something to do with a messaging protocol more than an agreement or
"managing" web services.  I did try to define "reliable messaging" in an
earlier posting
(http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-arch/2002Aug/0218.html), since
nobody else was responding to the invitation to do so.  

One thing I am sure of, however, is that the phrase "reliable messaging"
does not appear anywhere in the requirements doc other than D-AC017.  If you
look at the early-draft architecture doc you will see that there is all
sorts of stuff popping up about this, and lots of people have expressed
concern about the subject -- so it wouldn't seem to me that having something
in the requirements about it would be very hard to follow through on.

Doesn't AC018, with its fairly large umbrella, cover reliable messaging?
