    Abstract discussion of how the ebXML message data is handed-off
    from sending MSH to its transport layer is a good idea. This is
    the scope of dispatching mechanism I believe that is pertinent.
    Mapping that abstraction to a particular transport protocol (JMS,
    HTTP/S, FTP, SMTP, etc.) would be a good idea as well. Should
    such transport protocol specific discussion be normative or it
    belongs on a best practice document?
