Tim,
Taxpayer dollars are used to fund NIST work. OAG, the IRS, and Navy have a
large US user base. UBL did not at the time this work was started and still
does not have a large base of US implementations today.
Extremely care will need to be used before unilaterally trying to apply
Danish government schematron rules for US UBL use.
Regards,
Sylvia Webb

Tool]
my comment was more promotional than technical. How come OAG, IRS and Navy
get a mention and UBL doesn't? How can we remedy this?
The Danish government have a comprehensive set of schematron rules for UBL -
can we utilize those?
