Comment on section 9, first paragraph,
All, An additional comment on Section 9, first paragraph #2 (WORD version of document dated July 13) states: "2 Call Back. As with the simple client-server scenario, the initiator invokes the AgreementFactory to create a responder-side Agreement. As additional input to the createAgreement call, the initiator passes the address of an initiator-side Agreement representing the offer he is making. As a result, both parties have an Agreement representing the same accepted agreement relationship between them, to allow symmetric messaging for monitoring and management." Is it clear what is meant by "symmetric messaging for monitoring and management"? (Also appears in #4) Points of clarification -- does this imply that there are two copies of the agreement, one for the client and one for the server? If so, must messages be exchanged to ensure these copies are consistent? I raised this earlier and it may have been addressed.

Good point, Chris. I added a clarifying sentence to the draft explaining that diverging state information is to be dealt with specifially to a particular domain, e.g., by replication or dispute handling.
