Re: agenda for tokyo

[Farrukh Najmi <Farrukh.Najmi@east.sun.com>]

One specific agenda item I would recommend is to have the 4 companies that have
implemented ebXML RR specs for Tokyo POC to get up and describe, what worked,
what did not work, the spec problems they encountered and what they would
recommend as changes to the specs. IMHO they are in an excellent position to
speak from practical experience on what needs fixing in the specs.

I think Yuta's point was that we need to focus on identifying and fixing bugs
in the specs rather than an open ended "lets start from scratch" approach.
