RE: Latest Specification document

["Duane Nickull" <duane@xmlglobal.com>]

  a)      The message will use a root tag of <ebXML> to identify it as an
ebXML compliant transaction.

  [EDITORS NOTE:  THE TRP GROUP MUST EITHER ADOPT THIS OR SPECIFY AN
ALTERNATIVE IDENTIFICATION ELEMENT OR METHOD]

I do not support this means of identification, and propose instead that an
XML conformant document include a 'Processing Instruction' asserting ebXML
compliance.  I suggest:

	<?ebXML version='1.0' reference='someURI'>

where 'version' provides the ebXML version to which compliance is claimed,
and ...


Absolutley NOT!!!!!!  This would mean the message is no longer well formed
or valid xml and would open a host of problems for those trying to use off
the shelf parsers.  This will *NOT* be contemplated in any way.  Period!!!
