Brad, Rachel
Thanks for forwarding your interchange of ideas to the list, it was most
instructive.
One point that particularly concerned me was when Brad wrote:

Now I haven't looked closely at BizTalk DTDs and software, I follow the
development of XML/EDI very much at a high level. This comment though rings
major alarm bells to me. Could you, Brad, or someone else give me a more
detailed explanation of how BizTalk fails to look like XML Version 1.0 and
why a BizTalk message must be run through a BizTalk parser?
