RE: [ubl] Information items in 2-prd2-cd minimal instances

[Andrew Schoka <AMSchoka@comcast.net>]

I think the challenge is one of “feast or famine.” On the one hand there is
not much in the minimal instances but when you turn on the “out of band”
there is more there than certainly I can grasp when trying to create an
instance. Might there be some middle ground?.....Andy

Excellent ... thanks for this feedback.  If you 
feel that what is there now is still workable 
with out-of-band additions, then I'm confident 
the issue has been addressed enough that we can 
continue with discussing the appropriateness of 
the "using out-of-band stuff" idea with the models as they stand.

Thanks, Tim, for investing the time to think about this.
