Subject: RosettaNet Comments
From: "Lisa-Aeon" <>
To: "UBL-NDR" <>
Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2003 17:10:36 -0500
We received a comments document from RosettaNet that went through a
comparison and commenting of our NDRs. We have broken them into sections
that go together for discussion purposes. Each section is being sent out in
email. Please take the time to read through and comment back to the list.
Since we are so close to deadline, this is important that it get done as
soon as possible. Thank you.
2.3.3 Rule 83
Rule: Trading partners may agree on other character encodings to use among
themselves. It is recommended in all case that encoding declarations be
provided in the XML declarations of documents.
Comment: For interoperability reasons it would be beneficial to restrict the
character encoding.
Suggestions:
Trading partners MUST use either UTF-8 or UTF-16 character encodings among
themselves. It is recommended in all case that encoding declarations be
provided in the XML declarations of documents. 'UTF-8' or 'UTF-16' MUST be
used as the value for character set and encoding type.
2.3.5 Rule 89
Rule: Acronyms and abbreviations must only be taken from the latest version
of the Pocket Oxford English Dictionary. The first occurrence listed for a
word will be the preferred item to be used.
Comment: This rule seems to contradict with Rule 87. Also, there exist
industry specific acronyms that are in wide use.
Suggestions:
Remove the rule.
2.3.6 Rule 103
Rule: Substitution groups MUST NOT be used. 219
Comment: Sometimes it is useful to use substitution groups.
Suggestions:
Substitution groups MAY be used with caution.
