    For review: Improved "transparent" ebXML intermediary model allowing
    unmodified multi-hop re-routing of ebXML messages. It allows for end-to-end
    reliable sequences, that avoid any RM header manipulation at intermediary
    level.  No additional capability is required from the endpoint MSHs
    involved in a multi-hop path, other than conformance to Core V3
    specification. No knowledge of the ultimate endpoint identity is assumed,
    from Sending side. The focus is here on a solution using
    WS-ReliableMessaging (which poses greater challenges to multi-hop than
    WS-Reliability, given the routing assumptions).

    Hello Jacques, 
    
    I will join the call to discuss the document, but here is one comment
    already:
    
    Section 2.4, scenario A, step 8, does this assume that the last intermediary
    can connect to, and has the address of, (wsa:To) the first intermediary?  I
    think that assumption is questionable (especially in the case of a One Way
    MEP). If the traffic has to flow through the intermediary in one direction,
    then why would it be possible for the response to flow directly back,
    bypassing the intermediary?  It seems more likely that the traffic back has
    to flow in the reverse sequence of intermediaries.

    Pim:
    
    There are different options for routing a "response", back to the
    initial "request" message sender.
    RM has this AcksTo field, which - in general - is set to the original
    message sender MSH (or its RM module).
    The option in this proposal, is not that the responses flows directly to
    the wsa:To address, but that the I-cloud has the ability to do routing
    based on wsa:To URI (in addition to doing routing based on ebMS header
    data.) This wsa:To matches the wsa:ReplyTo header in the request
    message, set by the 1st intermediary on the path.
