RE: Loops (was RE: Preliminary minutes, IMPP at IETF55)

My plan following the meeting was to introduce in the CPIM spec a new
attribute of the message operation ('MaxForwards' is a good name for it)
that contains such a decrementing integer. The semantics would replace the
current section 3.4.2. A new release of the document with this text will be
available before the end of this week.
