I think this discussion has become far too embroiled in business
practices and far too remote from protocols. And I'd like to note that
today it is all too common to have airline baggage problems and be told
that your problems are due to TSA and there is NO way to either trace or
complain about lost items.
An OPES processor MUST support tracing. You can set policy on who has
authorization to turn on tracing or to see the results, you can set
policy on granularity. But until this group has defined the tracing
mechanism and told OPES implementors that the facility MUST be
present, the rest of it is irrelevant.
