Oh boy, I was briefly involved with the EFFF standard ( Belgium extension on UBL), where they wanted to include an xml file inside the PDF. This pissed me off that much.

My simple suggestion of using a new file extension with a zip and xml was disregarded.

The president of the organization had a side business, where he was the first to implement everything before it was on the table.

Ugh, politics
