People probably define some of the words (maybe one or more of "reliable delivery", "limited manner", "multicast") differently, and if they sat down to hash it out this debate would come down to people talking about different things.

In kernel dbus, when the sender wants to send a message to N recipients, it first checks that there is space in the queue for each recipient. If there is, it puts the message there. If there isn't, then it returns an error. It's that simple.
