My original comments on aligning with ATG2 CCT schemas

[Tim McGrath <tmcgrath@portcomm.com.au>]

Following the meetings this week I have been asked to resend  my 
original comments on the alignment of ATG2 CCT schemas and UBL 1.0 ones.

The message can be found at: 
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200409/msg00000.html

However, some of this is now history as the ATG2 group have been 
revising their draft schemas.  for exmaple, i have been informed that 
some of these comments (such as the naming of attributes) are resolved.

My personal opinion is that we should aim to have one definitive set of 
schemas (owned by ATG2) for UBL 2.0. The caveat on this is that we have 
to support backward compatibility with UBL 1.0 documents. So in the 
interim we need to work towards convergence both with the ATG2 (and OAG) 
schemas as they develop.
