Dear Nick - I'd thought of TaxML and had rejected it as too boring - so was enormously amused to find that tax inspectors think it's just the ticket :-)
Cheers - k

Subject: Name for the standard
I'm trying to write an introduction and primer for the SDD standard, and it strikes me that we don't actually have a name for the thing we're trying to create. SDD is short for the Structure of Descriptive Data, and is an acronym only for the subgroup, not for the standard. Anyone out there with a facility with acronyms?
relevant keywords include
taxonomy
descriptions
XML
markup
language
transform
there are surely more.
Cheers - k
