David,
With the exception of what they are trying to do over in ICG, Farrukh is
right -- ebXML Registry is being used for everything but what the
original ebXML vision called out. Most of us realized at some point
that commercial viability is a very important part of what we were
doing. I don't agree with staying on the old definition of registry --
it does not acurately represent reality. The original vision is merely
a single use case of many.
