[ebxml-msg] syncReply question

    A few of us here are having a difficult time interpreting the reliable
    messaging paragraph.
    
    Assume HTTP is the transmission protocol.  If syncReply (in the original
    message) is "false", will the "200 OK" response be empty and all messages,
    such as Acknowledgment, Pong, Status Response and the answer(s) to the
    original message be asynchronous, or is it possible that, say, an
    Acknowledgment may be returned with the "200 OK" response?
    
    The interpretation problem arises when we try to interpret the statement
    that the client waits on an acknowledgment.  That wait could be within the
    HTTP Post/response sequence, or it could be a wait after the empty response
    is received.
    
    Any guidance would be appreciated.
