    Dear ebXML Message Cartel: 
    
    I have been following the recent work in the group and am pleased to see
    things shaping up.  However,  there are some questions I would like to
    ask:
    
    1.  Has anyone addressed issues surrounding forwards and backwards
    compatibility between the 1.0 MSH and the current spec?
    
    2.  IF #1 has been addressed,  what must a version 1.1+ MSH handler do
    when it encounters and older ebXML message version:
    
       a. kindly announce it via a recoverable error message;
    
       b. quietly parse it without telling anyone
    
       c. consider it a fatal error and issue a call to the runtime stack
    announcing suspension of the Business Collaboration
    
    ????
    
    ALSO - 
    
    3.  Is there a hook in the CPP/A mechanism so trading partners can
    declare which version(s) of the ebXML messaging they support?  
    
    I apologize in advance for being too lazy to read the new CPP/A dtd ;-)
