I'll try to be careful about how I phrase this response: the original
draft of AS1 may have only referred to a payload of EDI, but that's not a
strict requirement, and not the case now.

The later (and current) drafts do not specify that the payload MUST be
EDI, and I believe that since Terry took over authorship, generic EC
payloads are now mentioned, although they may not be highlighted by
example. 

During the rounds of AS1 testing, a Word Document was sent as one of the
tests to prove that non EDI data could be handled by both parties.

PS Can people please trim their posts?
