Re: TRP spec 0.9a : minor complaints and corrections

["William J. Kammerer" <wkammerer@foresightcorp.com>]

TRP spec 0.9a : minor complaints and corrections, based on line nos. in
ebXML Message Service Spec Version 0.9a.

Line 156:  Avoid free advertising for Dick Brooks, no matter what a
swell guy he is;  just use a realistic random boundary:

 boundary="----_=_NextPart_000_01C06B7D.22B2B016"

Likewise, on Line 165, even if the example has to be split on multiple
lines:

Content-Type: multipart/related; type="application/vnd.eb+xml";
       boundary="----_=_NextPart_000_01C06B7D.22B2B016"

Line 161:  This and every subsequent example (e.g., Line 194) should
match the version number of the document (unless nothing substantive has
changed since V0.8?  If so, then explain why the MIME version attribute
is different from that of the specification).  Line 214 is correct,
though, if version="0.9" was intended rather than  version="0.9a".

Line 291 Even though version='1.0'  with single quotes is permissible,
all the other examples of the XML spec version number show "1.0".

Line 314: "complaint" should be "compliant"

Line 494: <PartyId">urn:dnb.com:duns:3210987654321</PartyId>
What's the double quote in the opening element tag doing there?  If the
attempt is to show a DUNS number, then use nine digits in the example.
Or is this to be a DUNS+4 number?

Line 507: Shouldn't "schema" really be "scheme"? As in "identification
scheme".

Line 549: 8.4.8.2 TimeStamp element.  The TimeStamp element has been
defined as a "timeInstant" schema data type, one of whose valid lexical
representations is the ISO 8601 extended format
CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssZ, but NOT CCYYMMDDThhmmss.sssZ (even though the
latter is a valid ISO 8601 Basic format)  See XML Schema Part 2:
Datatypes (W3C Working Draft 07 April 2000). All of the subsequent
examples in the document (at lines 585, 641, 654, 673, 686, 691) should
be changed to match the extended format.  Note that almost all the
examples intend to show the time relative to UTC, so they should look
like "1999-05-31T13:20:00-05:00".  Either the "Z" is used (for UTC), or
the offset is used to indicate time zones.

Line 1753: Within section 14.1 Normative References, the "International
Standards Organization Ref. ISO 8601 Second Edition, Published 1997"
should read "ISO 8601:2000 Data elements and interchange formats --
Information interchange -- Representation of dates and times"  Use the
standard nomenclature for ISO standards.

Line 1761:  The bibliographic reference to [UTF-8] should refer directly
to IETF RFC 2279 UTF-8, a transformation format of ISO 10646.

Line 1766: Should read "Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (Second
Edition)"

Line 2028: TimeToLive is defined as a schema type "timeInstant."
Instead, it should be defined as type "xsd:timeDuration" e.g., "PT72H"
says a time duration of 72 hours, "PT10H20M" says a time duration of 10
hours 20 minutes, and to indicate a duration of 1 year, 2 months, 3
days, 10 hours, and 30 minutes, one would write: P1Y2M3DT10H30M.
