RE: [asap] from the OMA TP meeting in London, UK

[Jeffrey Ricker <jricker@izarinc.com>]

We launched ASAP precisely BECAUSE there are three or more standards
working on asynch. It is the whole point. It does no one well if WSRM,
CAF, WSBPEL et al. each implement their own way of handling asynch. That
would be just as if there were no SOAP and each of these standards
efforts implemented their own envelope structure.
