Subject: Re: [ubl-ndrsc] Rule: 5


How about combining the two so a business person can understand as well as 
the programmer types? So something like this:

>[R 5]  XML names must start with a letter (a to z or A to Z) optionally 
>followed by any number of letters or digits (0 to 9, a to z, and A to Z). 
>They may not  include periods, spaces, or other separators. As a regular 
>expression this is represented as:  [a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]*
