Dear Hyungjoon,

The OASIS ebXML Registry TC is making rapid progress towards V2.0 of its
specifications. We expect to have V2.0 specs approved by the TC and
submitted to OASIS board for their approval as an OASIS standard by
December 1, 2001.

Currently there are 5 implementations with various degrees of
conformance to the V1.0 specifications to the best of my knowledge.

Based on my experience, the main issue for developing ebXML-compatible
software currently are:

-The V1.0 specs like most V1.0 specs have some holes
-The V2.0 specs are being deveoped and therefor a moving target
-Implementations are slowly but surely coming out and sometimes are not
feature complete

All of the above issues are normal to any new set of specifications and
I feel certain that within the next 6 months the above issues
will be a distant memory. In the meantime networking and collaborating
with each other on this mailing list is the best way to overcome
the short term issues.
