XMLP WG Comments on WS-Reliability CD-0.992

I am submitting the following comments regarding WS-Reliability
CD-0.992 on behalf of the W3C XML Protocol Workgroup.

1. Examples throughout the specification are inconsistent with its
normative reference to SOAP 1.2 (Line 1547) and non-normative
reference to SOAP 1.1 (Line 1573).  The examples should conform to
a normative syntax.

2. The relationship of Reliable Messaging Processor (Lines 278-281) to
the SOAP processing model requires definition.  (Statements that the
RMP is a "module" that exposes "submit", "notify" and "deliver"
operations directly to an application imply a layered processing
approach, which is not explicitly defined.)  Also, the SOAP term
"node" is used in several instances where possibly "RMP" is meant,
which contributes to the lack of clarity.
