Without venturing an opinion on the design issue here, I must
sadly inform you that XML performance in B2B contexts is becoming
an issue. RosettaNet users are reporting single file sizes
upwards of 60 MB for real-world POs, and some RN users are
concerned about hitting a wall with automated timeouts for
acknowledgments. This problem can of course be ameliorated by
adjusting the timeouts and increasing net bandwidth, but we're
starting to catch glimpses of a limitation in the size of
documents that can be processed effectively without hardware
upgrades -- not an easy thing to get budget for these days.
Not a comment on the debate, just a data point.
