Subject: RE: ebXML Proof of Concept Proposal v0.5


I will alter the POC document to reflect this decision from the f2f.  I do
have a question however: does using "Content-Type: application/vnd.eb+xml"
to identify the header part prohibit the possibility of embedding a fully
enveloped eb-xml message as a payload part as it would also have the
"Content-Type: application/vnd.eb+xml"?
