Re: Please don't rely on JMSMessageID for Protocol 2038.

Hi David,

Thanks for your input.

I've put this into the working group issue tracker as
http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/soapjms/tracker/issues/39

A response will follow, but it may take a few weeks for us to meet,
discuss, and resolve the question.
