Service messages MAY also be created for active The SHOULD here makes me slightly nervous, but I don't have any principled objection. I still think the mechanism is pretty inflexible, but this SHOULD gives me enough room, I think, to move if I have to. The third paragraph of the existing 2.9.2.3 also has this: ---cut here--- Servers MAY implement other mechanisms to dequeue and deliver messages if queue maintenance needs exceed server resource consumption limits. ---cut here--- We could take the conditional clause away, to yield, "Servers MAY implement other mechanisms to dequeue and deliver messages." That would again be consistent with the old language, and coupled with the changes Scott has suggested, would lead to a looser understanding of what the poll mechanism requires.
