I think we can introduce the concept of a Handle: E902 The specification should support both implicit and explicit creation of a stateful connection between Consumers and Producers. The Producer signifies that a connection is stateful by creating and returning a Handle, an opaque reference for use by the Consumer to refer to the stateful interaction between an End User and the Producer.
