Re: [tax] Issues for v2.0 of position paper
Philip,

Obviously I think of security as important,
but that does not necessarily mean that we have to discuss this issue in
this group. If we agree that security is not important, or agree that security
is not part of the objectives of this group or security is to difficult
or ambitious to agree on (my rough translation of your comments) I have
certainly no problem not discussing this topic. 

But it sounds like you had some interesting
experiences in this field.

I'm afraid I disagree about security.  My own experience of government

projects is that there is a huge gap between the original specs which

demand absolute security and the actual implementations which tend to be

much closer to conventional communications (i.e. very little security at

all).  In the UK, at least, there is no movement towards a consensus.

My worry is that if Tax XML starts worrying about security issues we will

never reach agreement and it will significantly reduce the chances of

success for the project.

Just my two penn'orth.
