Nope, that is not the intent. Please see the last paragraph. It is not 
rpc or mandatory extension.I acknowledged that there are additional 
rules we can write down before resorting to extensibility mechanisms.  I 
did not have time to express them with appropriate speceze.

Do you mean unique GEDs instead of unique operation names? The issue is 
the uniqueness of the messages.

With an additional bullet item such as

-- the messages of all interface operation components in a particular 
direction for a specific interface component must be unique, i.e. they 
must have distinct GEDs.

With appropriate rewording applied, would this be acceptable? If there 
are additional rules like this, the better.

My point is if all fails, there MUST be a mandatory extension which 
provides the functionality for the abstract feature.

Hope that is clear.
