Re: EDIINT and HIPAA

[dick@xxxxxxxx]

Rik,

I agree, the original AS2 spec was based on AS1, but there were problems
discovered during AS2 interoperability testing (using RFC 822 (email) style
packaging)  related to "To" and "From" headers, which resulted in the creation
of two new headers specific to AS2, "AS2-To" and "AS2-From".  We (as the authors
of AS2) will have to provide details of  these new routing headers and cannot
depend entirely on AS1, as we had originally.

AS1 and AS2 (using RFC 822 (email) packaging) will be VERY similar, but not
exactly alike. I believe AS2 will have to stand on its own through the IESG
review process and we'll have to provide "complete"  technical specifications in
AS2 to satisfy IESG requirements.

Ned, am I correct in this postulation?

Regards,
