Is that really a negligible benefit?
Without a doubt, we're going to see more government emphasis on efficiencies
such as electronic funds transfers and e-commerce nets for government
suppliers. Would it be unprecedented for there to be legislation and "sign
up" rules that mandate standards compliance? (We already have people in the
EDI community who raise objections to XML as being non-standard; i.e., not
from an approved standards body.)
Do we want to leave the door open for having to build two versions of
applications -- one for connecting to government portals, another for
non-government entities?
