Re: ebXML metamodel write-up

[Tim McGrath <tmcgrath@tedis.com.au>]

hello joe, etc..

i just noticed that there is a 'later' requirements doc on the site at:

 http://www.ebxml.org/specdrafts/ReqSpecv1-0.pdf

- it links off the page...

http://www.ebxml.org/specindex2.htm

- however this is titled:

electronic business XML (ebXML)
Requirements Specification Version 1.0
ebXML Requirements Specification 12 May 2000

- whereas the one voted on was dated 11 May 2000.

i presume this one is up for approval at the plenary.
