Ken, apologies I didn't reply earlier.

Not quite.  Have a look at the last set of conversion stylesheets I sent  
out.  UBL doesn't have an equivalent for "CanonicalUri", which is a URI  
that uniquely identifies the code list as an entity, independently of any  
specific version.  In the stylesheets, I have to create this by chopping  
the version off the version-specific URN for the code list.

I believe so; again, see the stylesheets I did, as I had everything there  
that was needed to match Marty's example Schemas.

I also did a Schematron Schema to check these, bundled in with the  
stylesheets.  Did you see that?  I don't remember needing to do this,  
though.  The only open issue I had was if someone used a code list type to  
create a differently named element.  That would require either (i)  
Schematron using a Schema-aware version of XPath 2.0 that checks types, or  
(ii) the user would have to create their own Schematron rule based on the  
supplied one (not a big job).

Cheers, Tony.
