This proposal gets a number of things right. It is royalty free. It is open. It meets a variety of clear needs. And it is widely endorsed. In a nutshell, "the Universal Business Language (UBL). UBL is a standard for XML document formats that encode business messages, such as purchase orders and invoices." Potential problems? As the lanuage continues to be copyrighted by OASIS, it may revert to a royalty-based format if it becomes widely used. It is also grounded in ebXML, and will suffer any encumbrances placed on that. So we're still in "wait and see" mode.
