Re: [ubl-dev] Order message :: Parties & Delivery

[stephen.green@systml.co.uk]

Hi Juha

I think we all had exactly this sort of scenario in mind when
deciding to add the extension point to UBL 2 documents. There may be  
more to think through on how one would use a single extension point in  
the document
to best effect. That is a discussion I would think to be very worthwhile on
ubl-dev.

All the best
