Tim Bray points to a presentation by Brian Nielsen and Mikkel Hippe Brun on how Denmark is adopting the OASIS Universal Business Language (UBL). Tim writes:
Check out slides 4 & 5: they estimate the annual savings achievable from invoicing in UBL at somewhere between €100M and €160M. I may be out of step with the crowd but it seems painfully obvious to me that UBL is going to be huge and I don’t understand why more technology vendors (including my employer) aren’t refocusing their e-business strategy around it.

I can't read UBL without thinking Usama Bin Laden. Anyone else?

Pito, I think more like: UBL and IBM and WEB L&M, which translates as the world's first internet cigarette brand and is perhaps more relevant to daily life somehow.
Oh, and thanks David for the UBL links. More food for thought.
