Yeah, I have been working on a streamlined markup which I'm thinking  
of launching next year at some conference. It prefixes all data elements
eg, myname&="David" birthdata@=19660501 alive_still?=True Age#=39  
house_value$=489000

I've had UBLish implementations running for a number of years in some  
manufacturing businesses and been quite busy ironing out the thousands  
of issues that come up.

But now that that is coming to an end, I'm revisiting UBL to see "wazzup".
