TP requirements specification

[Martin W Sachs/Watson/IBM <mwsachs@us.ibm.com>]

I have attached the latest version of the TP Requirements specification.
Most of the changes are attributable to the discussion in the October 4
conference call.

The changes are highlighted in yellow.  (I started by using revision markup
but it kept getting in the way of some of the things I was doing,
particularly with regard to list structures.  So I turned off markup,
removed the markup that I had already put in, and used the highlighter
instead.)

I ran out of runway without doing the suggested changes to the requirements
list formats.  If anyone wants to try this, have at it.  To avoid multiple
efforts, I nominate David Burdett.  HOWEVER, since it may be necessary to
convert this document to the canonical ebXML format, I suggest not touching
the list formats now. Let's wait to see if we have to convert the format
and, if so, fixing the lists at the same time.

If anyone knows whether we will have to convert to ebXML format, please
post a reply to the list.  Lets, however, not do anything about it until
after the face to face.


Regards,
Marty
