Re: [regrep] UDDI as the registry for ebXML components: Typo?

["Anne Thomas Manes" <anne@manes.net>]

While it's true that the ebXML infrastructure works well with the SOAP/WSDL
infrastructure, I don't think it's fair to say that the inverse is true. A
SOAP/WSDL service can't reference a BPSS or CPPA component without added
infrastructure support. In oversimplified terms, the ebXML infrastructure is
a tailored superset of the SOAP/WSDL infrastructure.

The whole point of this TN is to support interoperability, not to incite
disagreement.

Before you start raising motions to the JMT, can we please try to just work
this out among ourselves? I thought we were having a reasonable conversation
here. I'm trying to understand the issue so that I can take it back to the
UDDI TC.

Best regards,
Anne
