Formatting of Identifiers in UBL documents

["Duvekot, Kees" <kduvekot@Wehkamp.nl>]

All,

what is the "standard methode" for showing the way Identifiers (eg: VAT Numbers, IBAN number, Item ID's) should be formatted when they are displayed in a "printed form" (on screen or in PDF/PS/Hardcopy)
So where is the knowledge maintained how to deal with  with "spaces" , dashes or other formatting logic for these identifiers.

Should the identifier in a UBL document already be in formatted form? (so the generating application needs to have this logic)
Should they  be in unformatted form and should that logica be maintained in seperate logic when they are displayed (eg StyleSheets, html formatting etc etc) based on the scheme ID's?
any other ways?

Regards,
