It was suggested in the past that the Body was (essentially) syntactic sugar for an mU Header targeted at the anonymous (final) actor. If so, is it subject to the same processing model (check all mU first) than other Headers? I believe it should, unless not all mU are deemed equal. If not, are we supposed to rollback any anonymous Header that is processed before the Body fails (i.e. is not understood)? I am also wondering whether the mU constraint on the Body is not too strict. What if I only wish to send an indication to a bunch of multicast destinations, but I do not require all destinations to understand (or process) my data. Do I need to use a workaround, i.e. a non-mU Header with an empty Body? Are these sort of limitations appropriate for the core protocol? Jean-Jacques.
