Re: [rddp] WG Last Call: Problem Statement and Architecture

A reminder, and notice that there is one issue in the
Architecture document which will be addressed in the
final version.

The issue is around the change made in the current
document to add a ddp_post_recv() function. From a
pure architecture standpoint this has been deemed
unnecessary, and the previous form of ddp_recv()
will be restored, along with some new explanatory
text. In effect, this returns to the ddp_recv() formal
function returning a message_t, rather than a
necessarily pre-registered recv_message_t.

The difference is subtle but important. It is not
necessary to make the requirement of preregistration
for receives in the architecture, therefore the simplicity
argument prevails.

Any comments or concerns on the reversion to the
prior ddp_recv() behavior should be sent to the list as
soon as possible. There are currently no additional
outstanding comments or changes on either document.

Thanks,
Tom.
