I agree that there are a few errors here. My point in showing this was
that this article is the first time (that I am aware) someone has tried to
point out the real world difficulties in XML/EDI implementation in a trade
magazine. Before this is was rosy hype leading companies astray.

Most of us were not here three years ago. Please state again the
difference between XML-EDI and XML/edi. The web page does not clearly
state that nor does your email.
David I don't think that distinction will matter at all to the major point
I raise because regardless of this you still need to integrate the received
document into the back-end data base of the receiving partner. It is this
point of semantic translation that is the problem in XML-EDI or XML/edi (or
X12, etc.).

I expect by this you would also have to apply this same comment to
RosettaNet who continues to form these standards? Is this not also XML-EDI
and bound to fail?
