Wes,
William Kammerer is heading up the WEDI-SNIP end of this collaboration and 
is archiving the (massive!) discussion on his novannet web site for the 
time being.  We are exploring 2 or 3 non-ebXML approaches to the "CPP" 
information, but I sense an accelerated movement (within this WEDI-SNIP 
"routing" work-group) toward recommending ebXML as the standard structure 
for "routing, identifier, and connectivity" information about trading partners.

Regards,
Chris
