Because the CPPA editor’s draft of
version 2.1 finally addresses (some of) the extensibility points, there are
options for adding new DocumentExchange specifications that would be the
natural place to document payload capabilities. For example, WSDL interface
descriptions/definitions are incorporated as extensions within the
DocumentExchange module. Probably before 2.1 gets TC approval it will add
support for other extensions of this kind. Maybe Jacques can help the CPPA
folks identify what “features and properties” need to be added for
full RosettaNet support.

There is
the notion of "abstract trading partner agreement" (ATPA) in MMS
which roughly overlaps with a
subset of CPA. Some aspects of this ATPA are beyond
CPA (I believe, or else would
require some extensions), like payload capabilities.
(but there is no recommended format
for ATPA - of course CPAs will derive from it for
ebMS mapping)

and
assumed he was talking about participants who expose multiple
protocol endpoints, and how to
register them all. If AS2 had
something equivalent to CPP/CPA
that could be registered, that would
solve the problem. I wonder
if the RosettaNet MMS program is tackling
this issue?
