RE: [DS5] Request with acknowledgement - revised

In the concall, one proposed wording had:
 "a message is returned indicating the disposition of transfer"

What about combining Stuart's suggestion and the above to:

DS5	A sender wishes to reliably exchange data with a receiver. 
	It wishes to be notified of the disposition of the data
	delivery to the receiver, i.e.
      either 1) that data has been successfully delivered to
	the receiver,
	or 2) of any failure or possible failure of delivery to
	the receiver.

The above wording tries to add to Stuart's proposal, an emphasis 
on the delivery being all the way to the receiver.

If a concise definition is preferred, the explanatory either-or 
section could be dropped.
 
Thoughts?

John,

Following the phone conference how about:

DS5	A sender wishes to reliably exchange data with a receiver. 
	It wishes to be notified either 1) that data has been 
	successfully delivered to the intended recipient, or 2)
	of any failure or possible failure to deliver the data.

Regards

Stuart
