P7 has a similar problem but on a smaller scale: the Alert operation is
invoked asynchronously by the message store and so, if implemented, the
client would have to act as slave for alerts at the same time it acted
as master for the rest of the operations.

Also, P7 implies a message store which must talk P3 to the MTS (unless
co-located) so you've really only pushed the problem back a notch.
