Re: Notification

Abbie,

	What is the difference between tracing and notification _if_
tracing is always-on (i.e., trace info is attached to every message)?
Both architecture and OCP requirements drafts do not define
"notification" (AFAIK), so I am not sure what the difference is.
Please clarify.

Thank you,

Alex.
