Fwd: Codelist support for UBL SBS and UBL SBS XPath questions (Sacha)

["Stephen Green" <stephengreenubl@gmail.com>]

Sacha presents some interesting ideas for SBSC:
should we seek to help small businesses by adding
further code-related artifacts, e.g. to the SBS?

I'm forwarding this from Sacha due to problems he
has had (temporarily I hope) with posting.

Hi Sacha

Apologies that I'll have to answer part today and part tomorrow
(pressed for time).

Thanks very much for this. I think these should definitely be in our
plan. I hadn't thought of subsets to the codelists but I think an SBS
codelist definition file is a great idea to consider.

All the best
