It ain't pretty. But, it would definitely help resolve a great deal
of ambiguity if there was a means by which publishers could provide this
sort of processing hint to intermediaries in the channel. (Consider this
sort of thing to be very much like the cache control hints that folk insert
in the headers of HTTP packets. Sometimes, you have to give the
intermediaries like proxies, publish/subscriber routers or brokers, search
engines, etc. some hints to get them to work properly.)
