It does look like what is missing is a weight, volume and quantity from 
HazardousItem.  Too late to make it into UBL 2.0 so my suggestion would 
be the create these as customized extensions but we should also add them 
to the list for the next release.  It is clearly a requirement for when 
an Item is either not all hazardous or contains several different 
hazardous components.

i'll leave the final answer on this to the procurement subcommittee but 
my feeling is 'no'.  at least not in a simple relationship you 
describe.  however, if the wholesaler was placing orders with the 
manufacturer specifically on behalf of the grocery then the grocery 
would be the OriginatorCustomerParty.  one of the key factors in this is 
whether the manufacturer needs to know about the grocery.
