The benefit of an over-the-wire approach to specification writing is that all
that matters is what goes... over the wire. One does not need to know the
'intent' or 'thinking' or who the source is, or whatever about the source of
the data that goess over the wire. One merely needs to know what goes over
the wire, and compare it to what is in the specification.

If a receiving system's delivery process applies mappings or
transformations from the address used by the MHS to a local value,

field when transit and processing using that address successfully
complete. This ensures a detailed record of the sequence of handling
addresses used for the message.
covers that form of string.
It doesn't, we explained why last year, but since I doubt anyone else is
interestied in this p*ing match, I'm really done now.
