Title: RE: Re: Are the publishing users happy? Why not?
Hi Ralph
 
If you look at the member list part of the xbrl.org website [1] (click 'B' for 'Bank') there are a number of banks listed. I haven't seen the software they have implemented tho'
 
Various tax authorities (e.g., UK, Japan) have announced they will start accepting tax filings in XBRL - that is a similar use and not just a financial report.
 
XBRL 2.x makes use of XML Schema coupled with XLink linkbases to define semantics since XML Schema on its own was found to be insufficient in XBRL 1.0
 
Cheers
 
Hugh

I would be very interested in seeing such an example of a loan application
written against an XBRL schema.  So far what I have seen using XBRL are only
financial reports.
