Joel,
I agree with your objections to this proposal. It is strange and
non-uniform to make ebXML Registry a general purpose registry AND a
business service registry.
I am also deeply concerned that this proposal explicitly
duplicates/overlaps UDDI functionality. I believe the industry is better
served with a single set of complementary and consistent specifications
rather than with multiple specifications having duplicate/overlapping
functionality.

Dan,
The two teams are focused on different peices (or should be).
Problem is - we've not actually demarced this - or set in place
a true collaboration committee or working mechanisms.
We asked for this six months ago, we asked for it a year ago
when UDDI was launched.
If you don;t build a bridge, then two towns will develop on
separate sides of the river.
Its a classic situation.
It would be excellent if IBM could lead a go forward plan here,
but I'm not sure there is any incentive to do this right now.
It appears to me there are now lukewarm bridge building
analysis in place - which states the cost of building the
bridge is not worth the returns or benefits and would
take resources away from building other more needed
pieces in the short-term.
All makes sense to me. But I expect these metrics could
change soon - so be prepared to re-assess when they
do.
Thanks, DW.
