Just send orders by email.

I'm very happy with simple tools
if they actually solve my problem.
So then it depends on what problem
I need to solve, which was my point.

I'm not sure what the sweet spot for ebXML
adoption will turn out to be.  I'm sure it is
less than the full feature set, but suspect
fire-and-forget is a little less than the sweet
spot.

QuickBooks to QuickBooks would be a killer,
but I thought Intuit was working on it with their own
proprietary scheme. No?
