Suresh,

I'm not sure I understand what you really want to know.

I previously said that I know of no other contract besides CPA.  By that I
meant an electronic contract that specifies the agreed IT technical
configuration.  Of course, there is tpaML but tpaML was just a proof of
concept that led to CPP-CPA.  "Other contract + MS" would not work only
because there is no other contract.  Web Services does not include a
contract;  WSDL is strictly a service provider description, not an
agreement.

"CPA + other transport" is conceptually possible but we have not defined
the bindings for another transport that would replace the ebXMLBinding
subtree.  The obvious possibility would be "bare SOAP".

It is perfectly reasonable for the registry spec to permit other types of
contract.  They just don't exist at this time, as far as I know.

Regards,
Marty

Marty,

Thanks for responding to this question.
I have a follow-up question.

Within Registry TC, we spec'ed Registry to
work with any type of contract.
I would guess
 CPA + MS
 Other contract + other (non MS) transport
 CPA + other (non MS) transport (is it possible?
would be the only viable combinations as per CPA spec?

In particular,
 Other contract + MS
would not work (as per your statements below).
Please confirm.

Regards,
-Suresh
