Separation of Sender and Receiver Qos Assertions

Tom and Chris,

Am I correct that we are discussing two separate issues here?  On one 
hand, we have the already-logged issue about senders asserting 
requirements for reliability assurance on the receiver.  On the other, 
we have the question Tom originally raised in this thread about the 
granularity of a receiver's declarations.

If I am correct, could we at least split these issues into separate threads?

thanx,

I now see that there are two separate  issues.

1) how does a receiver application endpoint assert reliabiity qos level 
it supports on a per operation basis.  I believe the interface below is 
a sufficient use case to justify this first issue:

>>>>>> Interface (Broker){
>>>>>>
>>>>>> Operation Buy(in AccountNo, in StockName, in NumberOfShares):
>>>>>> Operation Sell(in AccountNo, in StockName, in NumberOfShares);
>>>>>> Operation UpdateInfo(in AccountNo, in CustomerAddress, in CustomerPhoneNo);

>>>>>> Operation query (in AccountNo, out SequenceOf {StockName, NumberOfShares}
>>>>     
>>>>
>>>>>> }

2) is there a requirement to allow the sender to assert reiliability qos 
levels on a per sequence basis?

The use case for this second issue  is what I think Chris F is calling 
into question.
