RE: Champions for Draft-status requirements? / D-AC017

OK by me.  I was just giving it a shot, for what it was worth.  Perhaps you
could flesh out a better explanation of what reliable messaging is?  As I
keep saying, I think it is important because there is a very widespread
perception that security and reliable messaging are the hot spots for making
web services practically usable for business processes.  The requirements
doc talks a lot about security ...

The phrase "practically acceptable level" seems to be inviting trouble. Why
not simply talk about measurable reliability levels (i.e. QoS)?

Curious,
