Duane:

I don't think we in the Marketing, Awareness, and Education Project Team
will be writing any such document, abstract or not.  Unless I missed
something in all of our meetings - which is possible, since I fall
asleep a lot.

We're geared up only for the most bird's-eye view stuff re: ebXML, such
as FAQs, press releases, 20 second elevator pitches, and giving half
hour presentations.  We will not be editing the specifications coming
out of the other technical groups, except perhaps to lend a hand, if
asked, to give each document a common look-and-feel. We (MAE) would not
be any more likely to write heavily technical specifications than DISA
would write X12 manual prose - that's up to the volunteers in the
technical subcommittees to do.

I have already indicated that I have had some trouble understanding the
document and discerning the architecture.  I may be somewhat slow and
plodding, but I am not a casual reader.
