Re: [ubl-dev] problem standard

Thank you for your perceptive analysis of the specifications.  I am 
pleased you have found an error which we can correct in the UBL 2.1 
release.

In fact, table 2 (and Figure 19) are correct but Table 1 Row 15 is 
missing the Forwarding Instructions being received (and, the same 
applies to the Waybill being sent)

There are cases where a Freight Forwarder acts as the intermediary, as 
it says in the notes in Table 2. "Note that this document may also be 
issued by a forwarder or shipping agent in their capacity as a Transport 
Service Buyer".

Of course this does mean the Forwarder issues a Forwarding instruction 
to themselves.  Just that whether the Forwarder receives or sends 
depends on the context of use.
