Does the CPPA group actually make this assumption, or this
a strawman?  Certainly nobody in ebXM/eBTWG/CPPA that I know
makes that assumption.

My understanding of the CPPA group is that they expect all possible
variations of casual and long-term business relationships to happen.
Personally, I tend to work with long-term contractual relationships,
as you describe.
