In the F2F in February, we discussed this briefly this work item:

Work Item 5-Production Rules
Describe boundaries for production rules in BPSS. Note: Starts to 
provide boundaries between what is needed in a business collaboration 
and what translates down to the engine.

Important points

    * It's original intent was to support UML to XML transformation.
    * Integrity checking is needed for the XML.
    * Production rules will be replaced with well-formedness rules.

Allocation:

    * v2.0: Document that production rules will be replaced with
      well-formedness rules. Gather requirements.
    * v3.0: Define well-formedness rules. Provide in technical
      specification and schema.

I would propose that we:

    * Define a summary statement in the v2.0 technical specification
      about production rules and their initial and future usage. These
      production rules or guidance have existed in ebXML BPSS since
      v1.01 (1.05, 1.1).
    * Close this work item for v2.0 only.
    * Work will continue in v3.0.

I would encourage your thoughts and we can bring up under Other Business 
in tomorrow's meeting.

John (and JJ, Martin), I would encourage your feedback here as you may 
have some ideas regarding the well-formedness rules that may apply.
Thanks.
