Re: [ubl] Code lists

Hi. The same would apply to datatypes but for '...Code'
read '...CodeType'. So

The UBL naming rules mean that
1. all Code datatype elements will have 'CodeType' at the end of the 
datatype name.
2. just a Text datatype element could have 'CodeType' at the end of the 
datatype name.
3. any datatype could have 'Code' in the middle of the element name.

But in 1.0 and so far in 2.0 only Code datatypes have 'CodeType' 
in the datatype name.

All the best

Steve

Thanks for this, Steve, but you've talked about the naming of 
elements ... my question is about the naming of the data types since 
(theoretically) a given data type might be used in both an element 
and an attribute.

Would I came up with the same list of elements by your criteria as I 
would by criteria based solely on the data type?  Since we are 
validating both elements and attributes I thought it best to leverage 
the data type name and not the information item name.

And thanks for the quick feedback!
