One reason I propose finalizing the work is that I have some users that 
are interested.

The simplest approach for a vendor would be to provide an import 
mechanism from this format to whatever the vendor uses for messaging 
configuration. As long as a product has an API and/or structured import 
data format, past experience is that this is usually not that hard in 
practice.

For AS4, as mentioned, I did a proof-of-concept for two AS4 products, 
one of which is Flame FMS, entry point is 
https://secure.e-codex.eu/gitblit/summary/research%2Fas4config_poc.git, 
some generated configurations for Flame FMS are available in that 
repository.

Great, formalizing the current draft as a Committee Specification Draft 
and opening it for review would be the way to get feedback.

OK I'll contact you offline on this, maybe we can set up a meeting with 
any interested members.

Kind Regards,
