Re: [emergency-if] Fwd: [EDXL] "Wrapper" update from Monday 8/23call

[Kon Wilms <kon@datacast.biz>]

My question is, what is the point of having the IF group even look at 
this if it is already 'cooked'? Seems rather pointless and defeats the 
purpose of a standards group, i.e. set standard -> implement standard, 
or maybe I am missing something...

Cheers
Kon
