I can see the value, and would propose that really means some "tangible" action 
must occur for it to be a valid "receipt". No different than in the human world 
where I sign for an envelope at the front door. I say this because what you are 
saying is that the "value" here is to show the "forensic" data, that 
"time-stamp" you mention. It should in fact be the record of when the button 
was pushed, or the app "signed off" on receipt. It could include a variety of 
things, the other side can see a display (client side) of "read", but the data 
around that transaction could be stored as a "receipt" which could be used in a 
lot of business or forensic applications. All of which in theory could have 
tremendous value in a variety of usage model cases. 

I think all of us that have used Skype or iMessage know about the challenges of 
"message receipt" in a multi-cleint scenario. 

Regards,

Jon
