Title: RE: [ebxml-dev] ebXML MS v1.0 schema

Neil,

Rather an obnoxious message.  I would suggest that in the future you fully investigate whereof you write rather than publicly display your ignorance.  ebXML was done without funding on anyone's part - other than the salaries paid by the organizations to which the participants belonged.  In most cases, the actual involvement of the individuals went far beyond what was considered a normal workload and involved a great deal of personal time.  Additionally, a number of small vendors, sole proprietors, and independent consultants contributed a large amount of unreimbursed time in developing ebXML.  If you feel that there are holes, instead of publicly flogging the dedicated individuals who made significant sacrifices, why don't you volunteer some of your time to more constructive uses like supporting one of the various ebXML TC's underway and doing some of the development work yourself.
