Re: [ubl-dev] GBP and GBp

Andrew,

Context is everything.  I keep saying that having
a context driven system that overlays on the base
XSD is the way to go.  That way partner specific
extensions can be easily communicated and
handled.  That is how we are going to break the
old EDI mould and move to a better level of
interoperability.  Right now XSD is EDI with
an XML veneer - precious little improvement,
alot more bandwidth.

If you want to do better than EDI then you
have to use tools like CAM.

I don't know what the score on this rubber is.

USX?  I think that is the value of the currency in
4 years time?!?
