Why is JAXR an abstraction API and not targeted to a specific registry such as UDDI or ebXML?

An abstraction-based JAXR API offers the web developers the facility to
write registry client programs that are portable across different target
registries. This is compatible with the Java philosophy of Write Once,
Run Anywhere. What's more is that it facilitates value-added abilities
beyond what the underlying registries are capable of. For instance, a
non-JAXR UDDI client does not have the capability to do taxonomy
browsing and taxonomy-aware smart queries that are available to a JAXR
client for UDDI
