Hello Ian and others,

I propose some minor edits below.  If this is too salesy or has factual
errors, feel free to ignore and go back to your original.

Title: OASIS ebXML Messaging Services TC v3.0 Standard: Overview and
introduction.

Abstract:
Discover what is new and different for the OASIS ebXML Messaging Services TC
v3.0 Standard from the team working on its development and introduction.

The OASIS ebXML Message Service is one of the most widely used parts of the
ebXML framework. Its adoption has increased steadily over the years, with
large scale deployments in healthcare and automotive industries, trade and
government, especially in Europe and Asia. Vendor support has also
increased, with Oracle and IBM now supporting it in their commercial
products and three new open source implementations released in the last year
alone. 

The new OASIS ebXML Messaging Services v3.0 is an evolution of the existing
version 2.0 specification that fulfills a longstanding desire to converge
the ebXML framework with the emerging Web Services stack. The new 3.0
version leverages a number of key Web Services technologies, such as Web
Service Security and Web Services Reliable Messaging. It also includes new
facilities for messaging pulling to allow for firewall communication issues
and hub and spoke trading models.  It also allows the definition and control
of a channel like mechanism to segregate messages.

The new ebMS3 specification is already implemented by the ECALGA and COXEC
trading communities in Japan, and is being reviewed by HL7.  A key motivator
in all three cases was the new Pull feature, which greatly facilitates
access to B2B networks for small organizations.
