Saying "in EDI format" is about as precise as saying "in ASCII". You need to 
ask them what format they want.

"EDI" means "Electronic Data Integration" (or something like that). All it 
means is sending business data from one computer system to another computer 
system. It doesn't necessarily involve XML (our company has hundreds of 
business partners and none of them send or receive data in XML).
