    Hi David
    
    I am positively surprised that ebXML messaging (or at least the ebMS
    header) was used as transport protocol on the VAN networks.
    
    Somewhere along the lines:
    
    "Instead of the secure VANS infrastructure (which does not use digital
    signatures) in a next round the Internet based infrastructure will be
    implemented, then heavily relying on digital signatures".
    
    The way I understand [1] it is that for their next round "Internet"
    infrastructure uses the Danish WS-Reliable Asynchronous Secure Profile
    (WS-RASP, a Danish WS-I profile) and excludes ebXML Messaging :( which
    is a pitty.
    
    ... specially as of those 1.2 million invoices (as of 2 months ago) each
    one has been exclusively exchanged on the VANS with ebMS whereas 0
    invoices have been exchanged with WS-RASP.
    
    I do not understand why SME's shall not be able to use ebXML Messaging
    solutions but WS-RASP solutions (none interoperabilty tested by third
    parties as far as I know as opposed to ETSI ebXML PlugFest, Korbit, and
    Drummond ebXML interops) even though the Danish Gov. seems to have made
    good experiences with ebMS on VANS.
    
    Maybe the NES project may have ebXML Messaging as first class citizen or
    alternative option in their infrastructure considerations.
    
    Question: Can a member of the NES project comment on their
    infrastructure considerations regarding the support of ebXML
    technologies (in particular ebXML Messaging)?
    
    Regards
    
    Sacha
