I've had a quick look, however, in general I'm a bit confused with the
message pattern you are using (might be that I'm missing something).
Is this supposed to unicast or multicast? It looks a little bit like
an RPC server, except that any consumer could receive the responses it
sends back. Maybe I'm missing the point, though.

Here are some more library orientated observations:

- Where does the exchange called rabbit come from?
- You don't need to supply an empty tag when you want the server to
generate you one for a subscription;
- What does it mean to bind a queue with an empty routing key? What
sort of exchange are you using?
- Message priorities are not yet implemented in Rabbit;

HTH,

Ben
