Description

(from Ted Ross)
Currently broker federation only deals with binding keys. Both dynamic and
static federation do not support exchanges which use argument-map data in their
bindings (i.e. XML, Headers, unknown future extension exchange).
Support for static federation with arguments needs to be added.
Support for dynamic federation that propagates bindings with arguments needs to
be added.

(from Sam Joyce)
This bug actually breaks down into 4 separate tasks:
1) Allow the exchange to accept dynamic bindings
2) Allow the exchange to be used by the qpid-route tool to create dynamic
routes
3) propagate bind and unbind requests to federated peers
4) support reOrigin requests in the event the things get into a bit of a flap
(flap being a technical term )
