6.  Tag structure position

     Last time we agreed to Option 1: high structure.  We are now
     considering whether to specify fully qualified structured names
     (option 1a) or abbreviated structured names (option 1b), and
     expect a proposal from Mark and Eduardo on this subject.  We
     will also have the following issues to decide:

     - Do we use ebXML/11179-style names (option 1E) or UDEF-style
       names (option 1U)?

     - Do we add attributes to UBL elements that link them to the
       UDEF structured UIDs?

     - Do we use ebXML-style names for aggregate elements and UDEF-style
       names for leaf elements?

7.  Modnamver position

     See Bill's position paper:
     http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ubl/ndrsc/pos/draft-burcham-modnamver-01.doc

     Last time we rejected Options 1 and 2, and we're now considering
     Options 3 and 4.  We realized that some other NDR decisions, such
     as local vs. global names are intertwined with this issue.  See
     Mark's schema dependency flowchart:

8.  Next steps (till y:59)
     - Plans for January 16 meeting
     - Goals for F2F #2 in Menlo Park
