I have a question concerning generation of "pending" messages.

I define "pending" messages as ExecReport with ExecType containing one of:
o  Pending New
o  Pending Replace
o  Pending Cancel

Imagine there is a customer who sends orders to various execution venues 
through an intermediary.  The intermediary may act as a dumb FIX router or 
could take order routing decisions.

Should only the venues generate pending messages and the intermediary route 
them back to the customer?
Or should the intermediary generate and send pending messages back to the 
customer, while discarding any pending messages received from the execution 
venues?

While I have supplied two possible answers, I suspect the answer lies somewhere 
in between: "it depends on several factors...."

Thanks in advance for your opinions.
