... small side-note .... part of the x9.59 work for all payments in all
environments .... was that the transaction system needed to be resilient to
repeats and be done in a single round-trip (as opposed to the transport).
there needed to be transaction resiliency with respect to single round trip
with something like email that might not happen in strictly real-time
(extremely long round-trip delays).
Real-world systems have been known to have glitches ... order/transaction
generation that accidentally repeats (regardless of whether or not
transport is catching replay attacks).
