Re: Trading Partner Logical Identification based on EDIFACT orX12qualifiers

There must be something I'm missing here. Doesn't the repository contain
the TPP for the party plus message choreographies it finds acceptable
(ignoring for a second the factoring of thr two)? If the repository is
optional, where does an ebXML messaging service obtain this vital
ebXML-compliant info? Or does an ebXML message need to understand
several other flavors of this?

If that's the case, and we're not careful to establish over-the-wire
interoperability between ebXML messaging service implementations, remind
me again why we're bothering to do ebXML?

Or are you suggesting that Amazon doesn't need to be ebXML-compliant,
but ebXML providers need to interoperate with whatever they have? That
seems way outside the scope of ebXML, and into the land of vendor
support for multiple eBusiness protocols/frameworks.
