Re: [Fwd: Re[2]: Concern with basic ebXML TRP Syntax/Semantic

["Kit (Christopher) Lueder" <kit@mitre.org>]

Note, this is a follow-up on my suggestion at the last ebXML
Requirements teleconference, in response to my review comment of:
> 2. Section 1.5, General ebXML Principles, "Enable simple, easy and
> ubiquitous use of XML for electronic business" and "Coalesce the

> single useable XML business standard." Also, Section 2.1, General

> 2.2 Conducting Electronic Business using ebXML, "Business applications

> These quotes imply that the contents of the ebXML message are to be XML,

Proposed text for a requirement in 2.1 or 2.2 (not sure which place it
should go...). For 2.1, it would be worded:
Provides support for the exchange of pure XML payloads, as well as of
other non-XML payloads.

For 2.2, it would be worded:
Be able to exchange pure XML payloads, as well as other non-XML
payloads.

Worse than an unanswered question is an unquestioned answer.
