Wow!  I think this is the blog post on CPA Success (Maryland Association of CPAs) has the world record for nice things to say about XBRL for a single web page.

I am with Tom here:

"A little revolution now and then is a good thing." -- Thomas Jefferson

It is great to see that more and more CPAs are realizing what a rare opportunity the accounting profession has here.  It is also great that the AICPA had the foresight and took the risk to pursue the vision of what XBRL could be 10 years ago.  It is a lot easier to see the possibilities around XBRL today.  It was not that easy when all this started.
