AMQP and ebXML messaging?

In researching TWIST I tripped over the related work on AMQP

 

http://jira.amqp.org/confluence/display/AMQP/About+AMQP

 

The banking industry of course has a long history of inventing messaging that only they use.

 

However they claim interoperability with SOAP in this case - but when you look at their business objectives - it looks like they are re-inventing the ebMS wheel.  

 

So the question I have is - has anyone else looked at this AMQP stuff - and is it compatible with ebMS - particularly V3.0?   

 

Obviously if implementers can send ebMS exchanges across AMQP infrastructure seamlessly then this is less problematic.
