If you have decided to use SOAP with HTTP binding, WS-RM (ReliableMessaging) will ensure message delivery. Perhaps this layer (MDL) is referring to that?
At some point you have to decide to abort or continue trying to deliver the message. (retries, back-off, and timeout). If this is done directly in the NSA or in a WS-RM component is beside the matter. This is a fundemental problem in distributed systems. Adding more components to the system can mitigate the problem somewhat (which WS-RM does), but also increases overall system complexity. However the fundemental problem - did the NSA receive AND act on the message - is still there. WS-RM is more like guarantying eventual message delivery and some semantics, but that is not what we are aiming for. We aim to bring up circuits.
