I do not believe I suggested taking the page count as a sole criterion for
evaluating standards. I believe the naming standard is too long, and I
illustrated this with a page count. There is plenty of merit in especially
the UBL NDR, but the length of those kind of standards is IMO a main factor
hindering their acceptance.

| I work on a project which uses the UBL Naming & Design
| Rules. Those are based on the ebXML CCTS, which in turn is
| based on ISO 11179 (which as such does not contain anything
| about XML). So I need to read and understand:
|
| ISO 11179 Part 1 - 32 pages
| ISO 11179 Part 2 - 16 pages
| ISO 11179 Part 3 - 108 pages
| ISO 11179 Part 4 - 16 pages
| ISO 11179 Part 5 - 20 pages
| ISO 11179 Part 6 - 72 pages
| ebXML Core Components Technical Specification - 113 pages
| UBL Naming & Design Rules - 104 pages
|
| So I have one critique: bloat.

| (Now, I could count the pages for this other project where I
| have to understand XML + XSD + SOAP + WSDL + WS-Security +
| WS-Reliability + ... , come to think of it, the naming stuff
| above might not be that bad at all :-)
