Murray,

I tried to make two point:

1.) Don't invent terminology that is different from one use by customers you are trying to sell which 
requires then to buy a book to explain what the hell you talking about.

2.) The goal is to make ebXML specifications true de jure international standards. UN/CEFACT is 
committed to do so. Therefore its terminology will be in the end the one used, especially if there is 
any hint of legal connection.

Regards,

Klaus
