Two years ago I read about a new protocol for "ordering products
through E-Mail". I think it was named X.12 or X.100 or somesuch.  At
the time I did not pay much attention since it was out of my field...
Sure enough, today I would need the info.

The protocol is in the same vein as X.400 mail protocol and specifies
a format for messages that are bona fide orders for products
(computers, airplanes, groceries). The protocol specifies things like
how to specify where to ship the order, whom to bill, what is the
definition of a line item, etc. Questions:

1. What was it called, X.???, and what is its status (a standard?)
2. Are there any working documents for this standard available?
3. Is anyone out there using this today?
4. I heard a rumor that some large government organization (Possibly
   DOD) wants all their suppliers to use it by a certain date, like
   1992 or so. Would anybody care to comment on this?
