Laird,

You''l need to do "derivation by extension". Check out the working draft of
the "Guidelines for the Customization of UBL v1.0 Schemas" at:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/ubl/cd-UBL-1.0/doc/cm/wd-ubl-cmsc-cmguidelines-1.0.html

This document is also in the UBL 1.0 zip file.

I am in a situation where the simple UBL order-related documents and
structures *almost* fit what I want to do.  I have a couple of additional
fields (that's it) that I need to capture in a UBL document.

What is the best practice for doing this?

I see two fundamental possibilities:
   1.      Use some innate customization facility within UBL that I've
     overlooked
   2.      Make my own schema for my own type of document that references
     elements and attributes from the UBL schema, which I will have to
     import in my schema.
Am I missing anything obvious?

Any pointers to pretty much anywhere related are heartily welcomed.

Thank you,
Laird
