Re: Peer to Peer Goal

Hi Franck.

It seems to me that what this CSF calls for is support for a wide
range of MEPs.

Here are a few more specific comments.

This is not clear to me what that means.

Requesting that all services support asynchronous messaging seems
unreasonable. Having the architecture enable such modes of
communications is important though.

Hmmm... while I don't question that this is useful, I am not sure that
we need to have this in the requirements document.

Moreover, message here is very vague. What about a simple HTTP GET
request?

This looks to me like a privacy requirement.

This seems to be more related to your service composition proposal.
