Points well made, and I fully agree.  If anyone got the impression that I was
criticizing ebXML on that basis from either my comment or Mr. Nieman's message or from
other writings, that is not what I intended to convey.  On the contrary, the "automated
discovery" aspect of ebXML 1.0 was one of the least documented and least developed
(aside from the RegRep UDDI white paper), so much so that I have not even considered it
in any detail in my critique.  There's quite enough to consider without going that far
out onto the fringes.
