I agree that CxlRejResponseTo might not be 100% accurate semantically but the 
response can be uniquely associated with the request nonetheless. The response 
message OrderCancelReject carries the ID of the deletion request message in tag 
11 ClOrdID. The same field is used in both the OrderCancelRequest and the 
OrderMassCancelRequest. The submitter of the request can thus identify whether 
the single or mass request triggered the reject. This is due to the fact that 
ClOrdID serves both as an entity and a message identifier. I would prefer to 
separate the two concepts but they are quite fundamental.
