Hi, I don't see any comments to the questions, so I will try to answer them. > I would like to know how one would compare WS-Reliability and > ebXML Messaging Service.

I think just comparing ebXML MS and SOAP with WS-R might not be appropriate to make a decision which you should choose. I think the ebXML is comprehensive framework for B2B, and it is including necessary functions for B2B like Reliable Messaging and Security. And it is going to be used in various industries and various governments for their B2B infrastructure. On the other hand, WS-Reliability will be used for Web Services in general. Since the current SOAP doesn't provide reliability. WS-Reliability is created from Reliable Messaging in ebXML MS, to make it usable with SOAP, without requiring other portion of ebXML. So if you want to have an infrastructure for B2B, I would recommend to use ebXML, since it has not only messaging, but also BPSS and other useful functions works together. But if you want to use SOAP, WSDL and potentially UDDI as an infrastructure for Web Services, WS-Reliability might be better. > Is it fair to say WS-Reliability is used to exchange parameters > as it uses SOAP body to carry those parameters?

WS-Reliability will be able to use with attachments with the version we are working on. So there would be no distinction regarding attachment capability. I hope this e-mail answers to your question.
