OK interesting
In the Australian meeting the Microsoft team referred to paragraph two
about transactions and said this was what made their proposal
different.
He gave an example of having a paper form which interfaced with bank
transactions.

I would expect that XML and EBXML are well established in this area and so
there would be an overlap with existing standards on that front as well.

ie Youre right, it is plaver, just wondering if including the more
transactional standards as examples might cover that aspect.
