[FWD: [ebxml-msg-comment] ebXML 'Acknowledgement' vs 'Acknowledgment']

["David RR Webber \(XML\)" <david@drrw.info>]

FYI,

I'd be inclined to agree - schema is normative - documentation needs to reflect that.

> I'd like to bring to your attention an anomaly between the ebMS/ebBPSS

> 
> 'ReceiptAcknowledgement' versus 'ReceiptAcknowledgment'
> 'AcceptanceAcknowledgement' versus 'ReceiptAcknowledgment'
> 
> The ebBPSS and ebMS specifications contain references to both spellings 
> throughout, which I believe is the source of the anomaly. This includes 
> general mention as well as embedded XML examples. However, the XSD only 
> contains the spelling 'Acknowledgement' (ie with the 'e').
