For several reasons I would prefer to go for a separate ebXML profile :

- 1.0 is out for public review, it's too late to add significant 
functionality

- Once there is a reference to ebXML is in the core, people may shy away 
from the whole spec : 'much too heavy-weighted !' Iirc we saw concern 
regarding SOAP, and ebXML is quite a different class.

- If there is a ebXML profile ready next year, hopefully along with some 
other profiles, we keep some attention on our effort.

- InterOp for ebXML is quite some effort. Especially starting with ebXML 
from scratch is a significant task. Can't see that we can handle this 
'til end of the year ( or any other acceptable InterOp deadline )

Other opinions welcome !


Greetings

Andreas
