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.
