I guarantee that for most readers, as soon as they see the bit on Open-edi, they
will dismiss the whole thing thinking, "Oh, they're just trying to do edi on the
web."
I've seen it happen over and over again. Please, let's not draw ebXML into that
hole.
It has nothing to do with people in the group vs. out of it. In fact, for people
not in the group who don't know intimately what all ebXML is trying to
accomplish, they will immediately latch onto the edi part, since that is
familiar to them, and immediately get sidetracked by it.
Better to pull it and, at most, put it in a footnote.
