That's an interesting and likely useful approach. I'm concerned that it's a bit of feature creep for this draft, though. At least, it's a non-trivial feature that the working group had not contemplated so far. Mapping rfc3459 to MSRP seems like an effort roughly equivalent effort to when we did the delivery status notification work for MESSAGE.

Can we live with some implementor guidance that they need to think about this, and leave a formal solution as future work if anyone wants to do it?

Thanks!
