OASIS Business Document Naming and Design Rules
  - Ken to prototype proposed augmented extension mechanism first discussed
    at the Fremantle face-to-face:
    - add an extension point at the beginning of *every* ABIE, not just the
      document ABIEs
    - ticket created to track online discussion:
      https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/UBL-174
  - working extensible UBL 2.1 schemas link posted to the ticket
    - Martin notified and he is contacting his industry colleagues who need it
  - 2018-02-22 discussion preserved for more discussion:
    - concerns based on real-world implementations of UBL where, without prior
      experience, and who do not have a data model that matches UBL, then UBL
      is very complex
    - what has been seen are very grave examples of claiming conformance but
      just throwing it into an extension rather than using the appropriate
      data element from UBL because it is easy to do so
    - maybe even up to 70% of the document shows up in the extension rather
      than in standard business objects
    - adding more extension points makes it more attractive to put one's data
