Marty, Arvola needed to make this clear to me, as well. The use case is that two partners agree to perMessage semantics. But in practice, what happens on the sending MSH side when the business app makes no perMessage indication? Should the sending MSH make a random choice? Or, what happens when the receiving app gets a message that has no perMessage indication? What should the senders and receivers do in these cases? Establishment of an agreed upon default value (other than the one in the cpa) would promote clear expectations and consistent results.
