Subject: RE: article
It is full of misinformation and chemical companies have implemented EDI. I am certain the members of the Chemical Industry Data Exchange (EIDX) group would take exception that they have done little in the 10 or more years they have developed EDI standards.-----Original Message-----

Subject: RE: article
Why is this a good article, it is full of misinformation!
Here are some of my favorites:"XML has a huge advantage over EDI because it offers companies a common language to communicate with, says Envera VP of Technology Mason Moore."
HAH!
"This is a huge advantage over EDI, which requires participants to rent bandwidth on a costly private network."
HAH!"EDI failed to take hold in the chemical industry, unlike in the auto industry, for at least two reasons. First, chemical sales tend to be large on average (about $20,000) and often require more oversight than EDI allowed."
WHAT? How is XML different in the category of "oversight"?
What a big steamy pile of Corporate Wool Pulling!
