To answer this from an AMQP Working Group point of view: Large message
transfer is still very much in scope, and 0-10 adds semantics to the
Message class for large message transfers allowing them to be
interrupted and resumed without loss of data between different
connections.  I would agree with Pieter that the current 0-10
expression of these semantics lacks beauty, and as a working group we
would welcome all feedback from potential users on such issues.

We will shortly be setting up a community "amqp-discuss" mailing list
for such a purpose.

In the meantime, I apologise for hijacking the OpenAMQ mailing list
once again :-)
