• Choosing XML as that syntax!
• Royalty-free IPR

• Urgency
• “Standard” business components need to be different in different business contexts
• These differences need to be accommodated without sacrificing interoperability

• Legibility (Human- and machine-readable)
• Simplicity
• 80/20 rule
• Component reuse
• Provide one way to encode information
• Customization and maintenance
• Prescriptiveness, tempered
• Content orientation
• XML technology
• Namespace dependency caution
• xCBL subset non-goal
• (Schema generation)
• Completely open, public, accountable standards process
• Based on United Nations ebXML specifications
• Intended for normative status under international law
• Designed for B2B
• Emphasis on exchange of legal documents
• Legacy format non-goal BUT compatible with existing EDI systems

4. Grouping elements
