first class support for flow/correlation/reply-with header concept?

IMO it would be useful if XMLP were to support some first class notion of
flow ID (or correlation ID) as a header. Another way would be to have the
ability to tag a header as some kind of "reply-with". 

This would allow one to use XMLP to invoke session-oriented services even
when carried over non-session-oriented protocols.

Is there any intent to support this capability (or an equivalent)?

Thanks,

Sanjiva.
