Abel,

Thank you for your interest and your questions.  My replies are in line with your \
questions below.

Currently we plan to release at the Basic conformance level.  Because the processor \
is part of SOA Expressway and is intended to satisfy market demands for that product, \
we will support the Schema aware features as our customers and the market demand it.  \
I can't say when we'd actually release a Schema aware version, so I can't give you a \
timeline at the present time.

We plan to keep the executable program version available for some time on \
WhatIf.intel.com, at least through the initial release version and possibly well \
beyond that.  The processor will be officially released and supported only bundled \
with SOA Expressway.  No library release is planned right now, and I personally \
believe such a release would require very high interest and a compelling business \
case.

That said, getting feedback, seeing what the market is interested in, and looking for \
new opportunities is what the What If program is all about.  I hope you do download \
the product and let us know what you think.
