Hello David,
You will only get specs. which
are any good from those who concentrate on business requirements - modeled from
the top down . Core components are the result of the top down analysis process.
What ever the flavour of the current methodology ;-)
As has been pointed out althuogh not
in quite these terms - to completely abandon everthing that EDIFACT etc has done
would be 'throwing the baby out with the bath water'
Cheers, Phil

Mike, All,
We're told, that at least
500 acres of trees get knocked down each day to
make paper for receipts.
Something totally needless in an electronic world.
I know of one
company that spends $700,000 per year on paper to print
statements. There
must be tens of thousands of others needlessly consuming
world
resources.
People *expect* that ebXML will do something about providing
solutions that
will slow down the very real carnage that is going on in the
world.
It's possible that people in America may have disposed
themselves of the
Kioto treaties, but the rest of the world
hasn't.
Please give us a bit of a break, technical people like myself
need
"specifications" for electronic commerce so that we can produce
solutions to
solve these world problems.
That's what we were told to
expect from ebXML !
