As far as I can see, Messaging is already part of the software model.

It has been part of the software model for a very long time.

Windows is based on messaging.

All the new Linux desktops are now messaging based, i.e. dbus.

Mind you, when they switched to a messaging based model we got a noticeable 
performance hit.


So, I am not sure what your objective is now?

If your objective is to convince people that messaging is part of reality and 
that software should mimic this reality, then I think you are wasting your 
time because people already know this.

OTOH, if your objective is to define a set of best practices to achieve a 
successful implementation of a messaging sub-system, then I think that your 
efforts are worthwhile and much appreciated.


Thanks!
