Christopher,

I am not able to send message to the TA list
(altho I receive them ok).  But FYI:

BP (and I think now CC) uses the term "Business Document",
reserving "Message" for that which the Messaging Service does,
and lower-level program object communications.

There is supposed to be an alignment activity between BP and TP
to merge the two metamodels.
