Totally disagree... ;)
If an application wants to subscribe to a table.load.votable and then arrange a bunch of flows on receipt of this message that's fine with me, I think defining an action that an application must take to go with a specific message is the wrong way to go. What happens at the application end on receipt of a specific message is, as far as I'm concerned, up to the application.
Specifying that something that's decided to accept a table.load.votable has to accept a table.load is a an anathema to this concept. If the sender wanted the app to do something (arrange a bunch of flowers) it should have sent it a message it was willing to accept.
