Bravo! I have always maintained that one of the few real advantages to
using XML for EDI was that it was becoming a more general technology,
and thus would have a greater pool of trained people who could be
prepared to work with it (the other is that it might simplify
application data transfer). Of course, with so many fresh new talents
coming into it, there will be a certain amount of re-invention of the
wheel and impromptu construction work on the Tower of Babel :-(
