Do we want the new messaging API to be useful for other messaging systems that are not based on AMQP, or is that a non-goal?
So far the primary goal has been to be useful to applications, which means the API inevitably includes support for functionality that isn't necessarily present in the lowest common denominator messaging systems. However this doesn't mean you couldn't use the API with other messaging systems if you avoided depending on those features. For example you could implement an SMTP/POP based backend, but you would need to throw an exception if someone tried to create a transactional session.
