re: ebXML Gathers Pace

David, et al.

I call 'em as I see 'em.  The story is straight news reporting.  I focus on 
what happened at the meeting, as opposed to the yammerings of analysts who 
pass judgement based on second-hand reports and press releases.  You will 
note that the story talks about how far ebXML has yet to go as much as its 
accomplishments.  I leave further analysis to others.  But if you're buying 
beers next time, make mine an Anchor Steam.
