Re: ebXML metamodel write-up

The approved Requirements Specification was on this page fairly recently.
I, too, don't know what happened to it.  I am copying the ebXML chair to
request that it be restored.

In regard to the "discovery stuff" - There is a requirement for the registry
& repository to be able to store information about trading partner profiles,
but there are no specific requirements dealing with the creation of those
profiles.  So, it is not in the high level requirements.  However, that does
not prevent the architecture from including it in order to meet the high
level requirements.
