I think we need some clarification regarding scope.  Are we talking about
strictly "handling and use of schemas" or the big picture involving the entire
exchange and processing of a business document represented in XML?

Re: Use cases.  FWIW - If we do these as brief, informal, and text based, I can
probably submit three or four different profiles.  However, if we decide on
semi-formal using UML notations and diagrams, I'll be stretched to get one done
for next week.
