Subject: Re: PartyId and Context


I'm glad to see that we have come full circle. This is, in fact,
where we were more than a month ago, and where we were 6 months
before that actually (the notion that the PartyId value should
be an URI, but of course, we couldn't impose that on those who
deploy ebXML.

Unfortunately, the wording in the spec is too loose and does not
actually make this recommendation (to the use of URIs). There
are comments in the comment database which reflect this change.

Cheers,

Chris
