    d. A clear English-language summary of the specification (from
       the specification's Abstract):
      This specification defines a communications-protocol neutral method
      for exchanging electronic business messages. It defines specific Web
      Services-based enveloping constructs supporting reliable, secure
      delivery of business information. Furthermore, the specification
      defines a flexible enveloping technique, permitting messages to
      contain payloads of any format type. This versatility ensures legacy
      electronic business systems employing traditional syntaxes (i.e.
      UN/EDIFACT, ASC X12, or HL7) can leverage the advantages of the ebXML
      infrastructure along with users of emerging technologies.
    
    e. A statement regarding the relationship of this specification to
       similar work of other OASIS TCs or other standards developing
       organizations:
    
      This specification is the first major revision of ebXML Message
      Services since the OASIS ebMS 2.0 (April 2002).  It continues the
      use of relevant Web Services specifications, including SOAP 1.1 and
      SOAP with Attachments; and also encourages the use of and converge
      with various Web Services standards that have emerged since the
      publication of ebMS 2.0, including SOAP 1.2, Web Services Security:
      SOAP Message Security 1.0 & 1.1, WS-Reliability 1.1, WS-
      ReliableMessaging 1.1.
    
      It is designed to be used either with or without any of the other
      ebXML components, including ebXML Business Process Specification
      Schema (BPSS) 2.0.4 and a forthcoming version of ebXML Collaboration
      Protocol Profile and Agreement (CPP/A).
    
    f. Statements of Use have been provided by three OASIS member companies:
