That would seem sensible.

Well, historically it has been non-blocking but I think that's a bad thing.
In both scripted calls and through the web calls, the instant return (with no 
explanatory message) indicates that the pakc has been completed, and very 
quickly too ;-)

This can lead to monkey pounding TTW, or excessive calling if done from a script 
in a loop (this bit me in the past)

I'd prefer to see the default as blocking, but that's just me.

cheers,
