     Marty,
          I am including in this reply ONLY the relevant parts for further
discussion.
     Best regards and have a nice week.

     Do you mean new applications that will be developed as already "ebXML
compliant" ?

MWS: I meant that new applications can be aware of the collaboration and
the CPA
without needing a special bridge.

     I do not understand how new applications will be "defined by the BP
model",
though...


MWS:  Here, I am only quoting what I understand of the BP goals.  The
registry is
to be filled with BP models for specific applications.  The immediate
concern is whether the XML derived from the Specification Schema really
contains
what is needed to interface to the rest of the CPP/CPA. Chris said that he
would
continue discussing this with Karsten.

     Marty,
          sorry but at this point I do not understand which is the final
answer
     to the original question which was :

          I would change "...and the business-application functions..."
into
          "...and the back-end functions..."

MWS:  Everyone has a different view of what an application is.  There were
a lot of
discussions
of this in the Boston meeting.  I intended "business-applications
functions" as a
broad term encompassing both what you are calling the back-end functions
and the
CPA-aware parts of the application.  I see that I will have to review this
question.
