Maybe the TC should organise a plugfest to test interoperability between these APIs based on nuances like disallowing or allowing empty elements, nestings to various degrees, minor versions, etc.
On the whole the key factor of schema validity will likely be well covered and these corner cases may be more the focus. Which subsets can be supported may be worth a look too.

I did a search on "ubl api" brings up many APIs for UBL.
Maybe it is best for developers to use these if they are averse to complex XML.
If you are writing such tools then the complexity might just be your friend if it means people will pay for the resulting API.
If the API is not enough to help developers then maybe the answer, as with EDI before, is to hire a contractor or consultant.
I think it is easier to become a specialist for doing UBL than one for EDI these days since XML is a widely used skillset and widely taught and supported with tools.
