4.39.39. I say leave it as it currently is in the draft

> Is hop_limit set to zero by default? Does zero imply no limit? The default value and the semantics of zero should be defined in the draft. Zero should imply no limit, but the default should be a reasonable value (to allow reasonable nesting levels of reference while preventing infinite loops); I propose 5.

That might be useful. > How about an "isComplete( int msgid )"? I'm not sure that makes sense: if all results have been retrieved for a particular message ID, there is no longer a queue maintained for it. getMessageIDs() will not return the ID. It would be difficult for the application to distinguish between the request being complete (all results retrieved for that ID) on the one hand, and an invalid ID on the other.

No. That doesn't seem justified, IMHO.
