As UK companies are just as keen to use EDI over the Internet as any other country I believe that this must be taken into account in the proposals. Tradacoms does not have a defined acknowledgment message. I agree that clarification of these areas assists in producing the best solution but we must get back to basics. The term insecure means various things to various people but the draft document covers every technical aspect. All we need to do is agree on how we address each of the areas defined.
Lets do it.
If we start with basic transfer of unsecure EDI and then add aspects of the security then we will at least be showing something tangible out of this work.
