Yeah it could be a nice road show,

you are right UBL introduce an advanced use of XML but this is mostly due
to the business aspects.

UBL TC has done an excellent job to prepare the road for adopters as UBL
today is not just a Standard but a set of proven methodologies and UBL
means today also adopting Genericode, Schematron, so on.

UBL in the time has provided a complete solution for true interoperability
(see NDR, validation, customization, codelist, ...)

There is not a similar effort and viral effect around...

Thanks to all of us and implementers
