RR73 requires no response...if the receiving party doesn't get the RR73 they 
automatically retransmit TX3...
The RR73 is stating "I expect no further replies from you".  There is no 73 
required at all....it is a courtesy done on HF bands.
The whole intent of RR73 was for meteor scatter QSOs which can take a really 
long time.  So RR73 eliminates one exchange that can take minutes.

  "Both stations should log the QSO when RR73 is sent.  At that point in the 
message sequence both QSO partners have exchanged call signs, reports and 
acknowledgements (R -04 and RR73).  No further messages need to be exchanged."
The flaw in this argument is that transmission of RR73 does not ensure 
reception of RR73.  "Exchanged" requires both transmission and reception,
73,
