RE: AS2 XML requirements (was Re: HL7 Standards Process)

["Dick Brooks" <dick@xxxxxxxx>]

Kit,

Nobody is suggesting that AS1 be changed to say that all examples be based
on RFC1767. The problem is that all AS1 examples ARE based on RFC 1767. I,
and others (yourself included, I presume), are advocating the expansion of
AS1 to explicitly include support for other MIME types.
