Re: [ubl-dev] Online UBL validator?

[david.lyon@computergrid.net]

Well sure.

I've looked at those tools and have seen what they do. They seem
fine.

If anything, UBL needs way more tools from way more people than
it has.

and I sometimes get the impression that there is a lot of
negative encouragement given to anybody outside of the
oasis banner, as if to say, leave it to the big boys, we'll
take care of it. Whatever....

UBL and ebxml is struggling... can't see why....

> Whatever that is of course we'll have to wait and see ; -)

so poke fun. enjoy yourself. This sort of attitude is crap
no wonder why people aren't buying ebxml/ubl. Who would want
this sort of treatment?
