This short but concise list will help us address migration parameters 
for 1.01-->1.1 and beyond.  See Work Item 6 on ebBP OASIS page. 
Hopefully this list will assist our team members and users in 
understanding the progress that has been made.

   * Correct bugs identified in 1.01.
   * Loosened dependency to UMM
   * Business Tranaction Protocol: NOF has been removed and replaced by
     an Acceptance Acknowledgment on the response. It should greatly
     improve the throughput of the protocol.
   * The exception model has been improved and made consistent to
     correct 1.01.
   * For re-usability purposes, many Business Transaction attributes
     have been moved to the Business Transaction Activity level.
   * Multi-party collaboration has been improved and explained to be
     more operable.
   * Cleaned up the control flow particularly isConcurrent, allowance
     of multiple occurrences of BTA, addition of a time out on the
     fork, and addition of a decision box.
   * Added support for namespaces and multiple schema specifications
     for Business Document formats.
   * Added many more explanations to promote interoperability.
   * Concentrated on enabling backwards compatiblity as much as
     possible (at a minimum to v1.05).

Thanks to JJ Dubray who compiled the initial list.  We will step through 
this briefly on Monday's call 17 Nov.
