No argument here. I think it was Kepa who suggested that a provider may
need HTTP when sending to a Payer and a Payer may need SMTP when sending
to a provider. Both parties should be free to implement the "inbound"

business requirements.

The HL7 interoperability profile needs to specify these details.
