Subject: Fwd: [ubl-dev] [ANNC] XML-Spreadsheet for UBL v1.0 IDD draft Available
Hi Chee-Kai Congratulations on all this. Looks very useful. Personally :-) I think the XML Spreadsheet format you use is quite neat, simple and elegant - fairly optimal. Just one question (for now): Do you know what tools might be able to read the various encodings of the IDD XML spreadsheet? I can't find any that can read several different character sets on the same page. I think I have the right fonts installed (though maybe I'm wrong) but the characters don't display no matter which tool I use (IE, text editors, XML Spy...). Anyway, excellent work - thanks for sharing it with us.
