    There is no Pandora's Box here.  People can ask for different varieties of
    Schema until they go blue in the face, but all that counts is what UBL decides
    to produce.  It is quite normal for people to require Schemas without
    annotations for use on production systems.  If UBL does not provide one, then
    everyone has to remove the annotations themselves, and they may get it wrong. 
    The UBL team saves itself a bit of trouble, but the rest of the world has to
    suffer a distributed quality control problem.
    
    Although I understand the orthodoxy behind only wanting a single normative
    version of any deliverable, I strongly support UBL providing the two flavours
    of Schema.
