Regarding Specification:V2.0

I would also like to see more possibilities to add Prices. I like
the changes made to the BasePrice element, especillay the addition
of the PriceType. So with this, I think the cardinality of
BasePrice could be expanded to unbounded with the remark, that
different Prices should be distinguished by different
PriceTypes. Perhaps the PriceType could be related to a codelist
(e.g. EDIFACT codelist)

Regarding codelists. Will there be a list of codelists used?
Regarding especially the stated codelist for the units: The PCE
unit is a simple addition to the recommendation 20 made by the
EANCOM specification which is often used in current EDIFACT
exchanges. Would it be possible to extend the codelist used or
introduce different codelists and use a codelist qualifier like in
UBL 1.0?

I'd like to expand the notion of the CopyIndicator or suggest an
additional indicator to state that a document is a test document,
which seems very important in integration of business
processes. Has there been any talk over some TestIndicator Element
or such like?

The Note element has a cardinality of 1. I would like to have it a
cardinality of unbounded. First you can then include notes in
different languages and second one is able to include several
notes which each then consist of a functional element
(paragraph). Additionally one could have an attribute with a
NoteType so one can state which function this note is for. (Like
FTX qualifiers in EDIFACT) (one use would be in the invoive to
claim legal remarks needed by the fiscality, like 'The invoiced
items stay in posession of ...' and 'Prices stated remain under
revision from additional conditions and ...'. One could distinct
them by introducing line feeds, but this destroys the correlation
of the different sentences.
