Take a look at
http://mla.libertine.org/tmda-workers/2003-05/msg00063.html

JC's ``Consent token protocol'' is what evolved into the CRI draft
that I posted yesterday, but I may be wrong.  I will doublecheck.

Very true, but at least this would give us interoperability until a
standard emerges.  At that point, I'd migrate to the standard, but I
assume you (and ASK) would as well?

This isn't a guarantee, but I think my earlier point is enough.  If we
adopt your suggestion now, and then move to the standard when it
emerges, we'll all be fine.

Your English seems fine to me, but if you'd like, I can assist in the
drafting of this document (correct and embellish where appropriate to
enhance and maintain clarity).  Then at least we'd have a published
spec available somewhere where other adopters could evaluate it.  I
can help field questions/comments from that point on as well.

Such a document which would explain the concepts in general,
non-qconfirm specific terms would help me understand how this could be
implemented in TMDA as well.  I've read your online documentation, and
while the Message-ID generation is straightforward, I'm not entirely
clear on how you are handling the auto-confirmation portion.
