Joe, obviously one person's "specific" is another's "generic". My belief is that "reliable messaging" is too specific to be a requirement at this point in time. "Reliable messaging" is generally regarded as the ability to ensure end-to-end message delivery optionally with QoSs such as ordering. Agreed? If so, it is this form of solution that I object to. Reliable messaging is not suitable for all architectural styles. And given that we haven't picked a style yet (though we're required to integrate cleanly with a state transfer based one, the Web), I suggest that it's too early to get that specific.
