Subject: Re: [ubl] Ballot to approve SBS 1.0 as Second Committee Draft


If the ballot is successful, I believe we will need an SBS change log from
cd1 to cd2.

Such a log can now be found at:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/16263/UBL_1.0_SBS_cd_changes_2006-01-16.txt

Many thanks

Stephen Green
