Bob,

The CPPA group certainly wants to be able to eventually support "all
possible
variations of casual and long-term business relationships".
The most dynamic ones are clearly futures and will partly depend on the
outcome
of the negotiation work that is just beginning.

Regards,
Marty

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.
