RE: Biztalk entry update needed in XML protocol comparisons

Eric,

Thanks for the fast update.  The reliable messaging does not really fall
under routing (there is no multihop semantics).  It is a simple protocol for
sending receipts to the originator of a message to inform it that the
message was received.  It probably belongs under the "protocol" facet.

does that fall under routing
[http://www.w3.org/2000/03/29-XML-protocol-matrix#layers_routing]?
