Re: [ubl-dev] How big can the invoice number field be?

I have been thinking that a set of prose test assertions might be
the ideal starting point.

(For background on what I mean by test assertions see:
 http://wiki.oasis-open.org/tag/TestAssertionGuidelines - a work in
progress mind.)

If these are written with some behind the scenes TA markup (pending TA markup
from OASIS TAG TC, say) then artefacts like genericode, CAM and Schematron
are not prejudiced by the choice of one over another because either or all
can be generated from the markup (as could a conformance test suite).
