ebXML will end up being too expensive for small business

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

Seen on comp.text.xml on 18 May 2000:  "ebXML will take another year,
and will be the future platform for enterprise scale companies and
entities...ebXML will end up being too expensive for small business, and
very similar to EDI which preceded it," by Todd F. Boyle, at
http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=624807728&fmt=text.

Can this possibly be true?  What have we wrought?  If only
"enterprise-scale" entities can use it, what about ebXML's promise to
bring B2B interoperability to the masses?
