Yes, the United Nations Layout Key for Trade Documents: http://www.unece.org/cefact/rec/rec01en.htm These specifications gave me form dimensions, cell dimensions, cell headings, etc. Business/UBL experts then gave me mappings from the UBL document models to the cell points. Actually, these experts worked within the former Forms Presentation Subcommittee (FPSC), now the Human Interface Subcommittee (HISC), that I chaired to come up with agreed upon mappings that were published in UBL 1.0 as informative formatting specifications. I'm a geek, not a business guy, so I wouldn't rely on my own knowledge of business forms, so I relied on the business experts that contributed. BTW, the informative UBL specifications are not considered normative ... there are no obligations to follow the UN Layout Key ... but I'm led to believe that worldwide commerce today is built upon the use of these standardized forms ("the world standard for international trade documents in paper format"), so the choice to use these forms as exemplars of UBL instance renderings made sense. I hope this helps. .............................. Ken -- Upcoming publicly-subscribed XSL delivery: Helsinki Oct 18-20,2004 World-wide on-site corporate, govt. & user group XML/XSL training. G.
