It's much easier to say that when you're responsible for preparing
documents, where what you do in a document today doesn't negatively
impact or isn't negatively impacted by what you do in a document next
year. It's a different situation for a platform vendor: if we supply one
data value today and next year change it to a different value, we may
have just broken thousands of software implementations. That is why I am
prone to say if there's a chance we might need to provide it someday
then we should start providing it now.
