“likely to follow” is speculative which is a fine thing to so.

“no others will” is an assertion with no facts to back it up. Sounds
like an emotional "knee-jerk" reaction to me (speculative statement) ;-)

[<lc> eh... neither statement can be substantiated - that was the point.

That standard coexist, is an undeniable fact of life, one that is driven 
by the daily realities that  user communities have to content with given the
lack of collaboration
to avoid overlapping standards.

[<lc> Cute. ... That said, there was a recognition of the need to support
ebXML to address the needs of activities such as described by Patrick Chan
earlier today: "I am currently at the Asia ebXML EAC meeting in Hong Kong.
We have seen quite a number of case studies in Asia revolving on work that
utilises ebXML (e.g. DTTN (Digital Transportation and Trading Network) in
Hong Kong that leverages ebMS but not the registry at the moment, e-Taiwan
project, Sony Music in Hong Kong etc.)."

That was one of the motivations for example for releasing the ebXML/UDDI [1]
mapping. When these projects identify a need for registry (not surprising
they haven't to date given the field of application) they will have options.

I'm check'in out of this thread - not sure what and who's cause it serves.
