From what I read in the press, UDDI status in this regard has yet to be fully worked out. Also, for them to merge it seems like the only route would be for the UDDI work to move into OASIS (I can't see the ebXML Registry work moving *out* of OASIS). I would be surprised if Microsoft would allow that.
Opinion, from a technical perspective: I think that they are far enough apart in functionality, interfaces, and information models that it is unlikely that they will fully merge. That's not to say that there might not be some well-developed interfaces between them, but fully merge? I don't think so... -- Michael C.
