Loosely-coupled external transactions, especially spanning different
companies.

As I explained to you previously, my purpose is not to promote BTP, but
to promote convergence to one unified business transaction protocol for
loosely-coupled transactions.
(Or at least an exploration of the practicality of a unified protocol.)

The BTP list happens to be one place where I meet people who are
interested in the same goal.  

If WS-CAF explores some use cases, it might happen here, too.
