Re: [ebxml-iic-conform] review test case material for MS conformance

[Michael Kass <michael.kass@nist.gov>]

Jacques,

   I am attaching a jpg image of a potential schema showing how
MIME header values could be 
incorporated into our XML syntax for specifying test cases and test
steps.  Please disregard the
naming "Sendmessage" ( as opposed to "PutMessage")
and "ReceiveMessage" ( as opposed to
"GetMessage").

  This should be a relatively simple way to "tweak" values
for messages we wish to send. 
MIME header values in a returned message could be imported into
XSLT/XPath parameter 
values for evaluation in an XPath expression.

Cheers,
Mike
