I think this sort of speculation would fit better in one of the LinkedIn 
EDI groups. They are fluffier. This mailing list tends to have a more 
practical edge.

Strictly speaking this is to do with reconciliation of business 
processes. Expecting the EDI system to do it is a bit like expecting the 
phone company to arrange on-the-fly translation when you ring someone in 
France. Unfortunately those responsible for EDI systems have tended to 
be nice guys who have done their best to sort the mess out, and thus 
created a rod for their own backs. There is no proper EDI way, just a 
series of compromises.
