Thanks for responses.
UBL (and similar works) might have to tolerate a peculiar presense of 'heisenbugs' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heisenbug :-)

Quoting "Anthony B. Coates (Miley Watts)" <abco...@mileywatts.com>:
We went through a stage in MDDL (http://www.mddl.org/) of taking "anonymous" requirements, where the person who took the requirements couldn't discuss who they were from, or why they were required. Nor could any relevant examples be shared.
It was a nightmare, because we couldn't have full and open discussions about these submissions. What happened is that a lot of changes were made to MDDL by the one person who was in the loop, and that was far from ideal.
In the end, MDDL stopped accepting such contributions, and so I would recommend that UBL not start.
Cheers, Tony.

Greetings TC
In a matter reminiscent of the 'uncertainty principle', is there a way to make a submission of a requirement without necessarily making public the details of the background to the requirement? In a 'hypothetical' use case which is valid but not well known. It might be that there is, hypothetically, a desire to keep details of the use of a document from being public. Is the very nature of UBL as an open standard such that this cannot be done as an official submission of a requirement without making the details public? Hypothetically of course :-)
