[ebxml-msg] Concerns of a Canadian...

Dear ebXML Message Cartel: 

I have been following the recent work in the group and am pleased to see
things shaping up.  However,  there are some questions I would like to
ask:

1.  Has anyone addressed issues surrounding forwards and backwards
compatibility between the 1.0 MSH and the current spec?

2.  IF #1 has been addressed,  what must a version 1.1+ MSH handler do
when it encounters and older ebXML message version:

   a. kindly announce it via a recoverable error message;

   b. quietly parse it without telling anyone

   c. consider it a fatal error and issue a call to the runtime stack
announcing suspension of the Business Collaboration

????

ALSO - 

3.  Is there a hook in the CPP/A mechanism so trading partners can
declare which version(s) of the ebXML messaging they support?  

I apologize in advance for being too lazy to read the new CPP/A dtd ;-)
