RE: [regrep] ACORD Repository Standard

Yeah, unfortunately, I think you hit it right on the head.

I was at the ACORD conference in Las Vegas back in May.

Once of the sessions I attended was on reliable messaging.

During the preso, the guy said that since WSRM wasn't completed yet at the
time they had started, that was why they had to roll their own.

When I asked during the Q&A  why they didn't just adopt ebXML MHS, he flat
out admitted that they couldn't use it because MS and IBM didn't support it,
so they had to do something in the interim that they could then later
migrate towards something backed by them.

Farrukh,

The issue appears to be that IBM is running the show at ACORD so
they are hardly likely to encourage anything remotely relating to
ebXML any year soon.
