The ebXML Registry standard already supports: " *native, standard* support for registration, maintenance, and discovery of fine-grained artifacts (elements/attributes/datatypes/namespace identifiers) " Note that we have had above abilities since version 1.0 of the ebXML Registry. What we do not yet have is the "*standard mechanism* to assemble these into schemas" I also want to point out that the "*standard mechanism* to assemble these into schemas" is not and has never been part of our charter. We view this as an application that is a client of the ebXML Registry. We are willing to help anyone who wishes to develop such a client. Please let me know if I misunderstand the issue and do what you can to correct any accidental misleading perception.
