Subject: Re: [ebxml-dev] Re: [EDI-L] Announce - Latest Article on ebXML



Mike,

Regarding: "is covered by the BPSS, which is only pointed to by the CPA/CPP
and is
not an integral part of the CPA or the CPP." The CPP and CPA contain what
amounts to a normative reference to a BPSS instance document. That makes
the BPSS instance document just as integral a part of the CPP/CPA as the
element in the CPP/CPA that points to it.  The BPSS instance document has
the job of defining the choreography of the message exchanges.  Without it,
we would have had to invent one to embed in the CPA (or to use the
choreography that came with tpaML).

Regards,
Marty

Thanks for the kind comments, William.  A few replies inserted below.

Perhaps I generalize too much  in identifying SOAP with W3C's XML Protocol
work, but
if you review the public work on the cited page you can certainly come away
with that
impression.  I agree with William's assessment of .8 for one or the other,
I just
think it's much more likely to be the W3C product.

A few clarifications:  In the ebXMLBinding element there are rough
analogues to the
ability to request a 997 or TA1.  However, the issue of a business response
to the
INVOIC message is covered by the BPSS, which is only pointed to by the
CPA/CPP and is
not an integral part of the CPA or the CPP.

Let me publicly go on the record here as saying that although I've seen
both Rachel
and William sitting in corners alone, I have *never* seen them wearing
dunce hats or
with gum on their noses!  (or did I miss that party?  You guys in RegRep
must have had
a lot more fun than we did in Requirements...)
