The term used in 1.1 is "body" (e.g. in methods such as clearBody()). This makes me wonder whether I should replace all references to "payload" with "body". So this new method on Message would become "getBody" and the receivePayload() methods on JMSConsumer would become receiveBody(). Hmm.

Although payload makes more sense to me than 'body' - for the sake of consistency - it would be better to make everything 'body' imho
