Re: [ebxml-dev] ebXML specifications interdendancies

I do not think he is creating a problem. He is probably seeking
for the right(from his perspectives) solution same as many others
around world as I am expecting the growth of deamands as it
gets mature and popular.

And I am sure some vendors fussing about it and attempt to
slow down the others because of some sort of their marketing
strategies.

Hey, the bottom line is that I am well be awaring of the benefits
in collaborative solutions in our world. And so does others who
putting extra amount of efforts in terms of the time and $s to
produce the ebXML-based solution.

And I am one if it. Let us see how and who can get the market
acceptance whether they are Big boys or SMBs.

Cheers,


Pae
