Duane,

Thanks, but I still don't think I have an answer.  I know perfectly well what "context"
is.  From your previous messages in this thread, I thought you were referring to the
"context message".  Specifically, about it I was asking:

1)  How do you expect the context message to be used?

2)  Why is the context message "depended on by several other systems in ebXML"?  (or at
least that's what I thought that you were asserting.  Forgive me if I misread you.)

Thanks,

Mike

I don't recall anything about fully automatic collaborations being in the ebXML
requirements document.  "automatic" does not appear in either the May 2000, or May 2001
versions, and "collaboration" only appears in the 2001 version when associated with the
CPA/CPP.  Can you point me to a reference?
