Anders,
 
I suspect because that TP XML patent was already covered by the agreement with OASIS and CEFACT in 1999?

In an interesting and welcome pressrelease 
<http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/marketwire/0276035.htm>IBM 
releases a large number of specifications 
<http://www-03.ibm.com/linux/opensource/isplist.shtml>from patent 
inhibitation. But what about the patents behind the ebXML CPPA 
specification? Are they still there and if so the questions becomes, why 
arent the CPPA spec in the list? Afterall Bob Sutor should have some 
knowledge of ebXML.
