Benny, this may not be all that significant a point to debate at length, but I'm confused as to where you think CheckFree has implemented 'enhanced' OFX for bill pres, vs 'standard' OFX, and how these are different. It's certainly true that bill pres was an addition to OFX (in version 1.5 of the spec, I believe), but that initial billing spec, developed by CF, Microsoft and Intuit together (with JITS and others) is essentially what's being used. MS/TP was using it for some back-end (ie biller) functions, but CF & Intuit's use of OFX here was for the exact same thing - delivering bill summary information to consumer bill aggregators, like Intuit / Quicken. The OFX billing spec will doubtless continue to evolve, but I do not see any industry players who are using some other protocol to do what OFX does. And for those who've already implemented systems based on OFX, it's hard to see why they'd want to change. - Roger.
