Re: proposal for extension to UBL-Order

[Tim McGrath <tmcgrath@portcomm.com.au>]

Thank you for your interest in UBL.

I am not sure if  I understand your requirement to be that you wish to 
contain another document inside a UBL Item or that you wish to reference 
another document from an Item.  Perhaps if you could explain what 
"required values for an agricultural operation" means it might help with 
this.

PS. I am forwarding this request to the ubl-dev mailing list as someone 
there may have some useful suggestions.  You may wish to join this group 
in the future.
