Andy,
My point was that you get this for free with BEEP (like so many other things) simply by choosing your grouping of messages and how you would process them (e.g., not waiting for the whole page). You really need no additional PROTOCOL support for those acknowledgments (although some additional *application library* support on the part of the agent would be necessary).The WG already decided we do not want app-level ACKs. They are supposed to be removed completely.
My comment (a) above is fairly clear -- we cannot create new BEEP features or in any way rely on BEEP features that do not exist in a Proposed Standard RFC.
I agree. Eliot -- to unsubscribe send a message to netconf-request@ops.ietf.org with the word 'unsubscribe' in a single line as the message text body. archive: <http://ops.ietf.org/lists/netconf/>
