Is ebXML intended to be a formal standard (submitted to a standards body)?
Backed by UN/CEFACT and OASIS, ebXML offers a framework that will become an international standard, most likely under the auspices of UN/CEFACT, one of the four de jure standards bodies in the world. Even before ebXML becomes a formal standard, it will likely become a de facto standard as industry groups, individual trading partners and e-business solution providers adopt it.
