John, I can't resist responding as a member of Legal XML, rather than OXCI. Are you suggesting that we use SOAP to transact directly from the EFSP to the CMS without using an EFM at all to mediate the transactions? If so, that is certainly a major departure from the architectural concepts that Legal XML has followed in the past (or at least my understanding of them). Just checking, since I am certainly open to consideration of all possibilities. I believe OXCI would like to mirror as closely as possible the proposed Legal XML architecture for Version 2.0 (Blue) of the standards, when it exists, without making any more architectural decisions than would be appropriate for an implementer of standards (rather than a setter of them). I would love to see the business process subcommittee of Legal XML get out ahead of the OXCI project, since the required business models drive implementation decisions almost as much as they drive standards requirements. To the extent that implementers get out ahead of the standards, commercial vendors will be in a much better position to evolve their EFM offerings (to remain in compliance) as the Legal XML standards mature.
