New issue: Scope of MakeConnection is unconstrained

["Jonathan Marsh" <jonathan@wso2.com>]

The spec says “This specification places no constraint on the types of messages that can be returned on the transport-specific back-channel.”  This allows any message whatsoever to be returned in response to a MakeConnection.  This flexibility complexity complicates the job of the RM Destination, as it will need to expect messages that have nothing to do with RM coming back on the response to a MakeConnection.

 

To simplify the job of the RM destination and to ensure maximum interoperability on MakeConnection, the types of messages allowed as a response to a MakeConnection message should be constrained to messages with RM namespaced elements in the body, or in a header.  Interoperable behavior (e.g. ignoring such messages or surfacing a fault) should be defined for messages that aren’t related to a reliable conversation.
