[uf-discuss] Receipt Microformat

[Martin Owens]

Oh sorry, I wasn't proposing anything per say. the research I've done
includes search the mailing list, the wiki, google and several other
ecommerce resources, didn't find anything.

I've mainly just jotted down some notes to get them out my head, did
you want me to list urls or relevant information too? I must admit to
not being very proficient at standards creation but I thought you'd
like to talk about the 'idea' rather than just the notes and
structures.

Thanks for the link, I'll try and read it see what I missed.

Best Regards, Martin Owens
