All,
I agree with Jim's rubuttal of my comments to his original proposal.
I now agree with Jim's original table that looks like this:
Previous |
Policy | MLA B's Receipt Policy
(MLA A's |
Policy) | none insteadOf inAdditionTo missing
--------------------------------------------------------------------
none | none none none none
insteadOf | none insteadOf(B) insteadOf(A+B) insteadOf(A)
inAdditionTo | none insteadOf(B) inAdditionTo(A+B) inAdditionTo(A)
missing | none insteadOf(B) inAddtionTo(B) missing
Jim stated:
Although it is not stated anywhere, my assumption here is that the most
general use of insteadOf is to combine receipts into a single receipt
coming back from the mailing list.
I believe that this strategy is highly controversial. IMHO, the MLA should
return a signed receipt to the originator as soon as the MLA is able to
verify the signature of the original message. That is the intent of the
signed receipt requested by the originator from the MLA. IMHO, the intent
of the signed receipt returned from the MLA is not to signify that every ML
member returned a signed receipt to the MLA.
