Dan,

I'm not so totally convinced.  We have worked hard on an ebXML 
model that suits the needs.  While there are still some issues
that we were not able to resolve with Farrukh in Vancouver,
I for one would stop short of totally adopting the OASIS info' model
lock stock and barrel.

Horses for courses.  What I like about what we have right now is
that there is the right amount of overlap without being lockstepped.

Anolther major factor for us is ISO11179 interfacing.  I have been
researching that aspect - and again ebXML appears better equipped 
for metadata business focused content in this regard.

Thanks, DW.
