Subject: Re: [bdx] Why the OASIS Business Document Exchange TC is importantfor the future of e-business


Thank you Tim.

And you are absolutely right about the separation. Re-reading what I
wrote it could be interpreted such that the BDX TC will solve the
problem of "secure and reliable transport". That problem has been
solved before - what BDX will do is to clarify how existing
specifications of "secure and reliable transport" can be used in the
4-corner model.
