Ok folks - we've decided to pare down this section a bit. Stay tuned for the
updated version.

<Scott>
There is no question that section 9 can easily give the impression that
ebXML is significantly tied to EDI, which could easily increase the buy-in
barrier and result in limited success.

If we had to vote, I say remove it.
If we have to compromise, reference it in one short paragraph and move on.

>Remember that ebXML is designed to reach the SMEs that EDI wasn't
appropriate for.

Well put.

I support the same (Scott's) view.

Nikola
