Sun is getting some [nice column inches for its registry news](http://edodds.blogs.com/conmergence/2005/06/ebxml_registry_.html). Which means ebXML is too.

You can bet Adobe will respond. It is saddling up an ebXML yellow dragon to fly on. Concentrating on scalable document-centric integration (rather than primarily data, or process-mindsetted); I wonder why Adobe would be interested in that?

I have long argued Sun should be more public about its support for ebXML. Well look what happens when it is.

ebXML marketing budgets… stranger things have happened.

Last week i had a brain blip and [cited John Bosak](http://www.redmonk.com/jgovernor/archives/000759.html) for his good works in the area. The real culprit on the registry side is of course [Farrukh Najmi](http://www.idealliance.org/papers/dx_xmle04/html/bio/a7cc06ba9200d26b44f22e431a.html). Bosak is [Mr UBL](http://www.sun.com/presents/minds/2004-0701/).

Oh dear though – more open source contributions by Sun. How dare it participate?
