[connector-spec-users] [jsr322-experts] MessageEndpoint activation

The spec currently states:
13.4.4 Application Server
The application server provides the runtime environment for the message
endpoint.
It activates message endpoints when they are deployed. All such
deployed
endpoints are automatically reactivated when an application server
restarts after a
normal shutdown or system crash.

What is the rationale for requiring start of the ME at deployment time
and app server start time instead of allowing implementors to lazily
start them when the application starts?
