<PY> I agree with this. I never understood why it is necessary for ebXML to
maintain its own registry of all the possible values for the domain that could
be specified in the context? Why can't this aspect be part of the CPA?. I.e.
the valid domains and the corresponding valid ids that go with domains (for the
parties) and the location of the (on line) registry for the subject domains if
any, could be part of the CPA right?  </PY>
