Your analogy hints at a myth that the usage of ebXML TRP by definition 
implies that all the gory details of the packaging, headers etc. are 
visible to the end-user. I don't believe your analogy accurately reflects 
the ebXML TRP reality. Your comments tell me that we need to do a better 
job in getting some of the the basic concepts and notions of ebXML TRP out 
there.

If the sales staff are any good at their job, they will hand me the burger 
nice and hot, cooked exactly to my spec., at the price I'm willing to 
pay,  with a friendly smile to boot -  *without* exposing me to their 
business process. BTW, I'm told frozen burgers do indeed have tracking 
numbers - I have never seen one and hopefully never will.
