Many years ago, while working for MS, I was involved in a project to get XBRL functionality added to Excel 2003.  The project fell through for funding reasons, and I still owe someone named Rob Blake a lifelong cosmic apology for my part in that failure.  But it was a compelling experience, even met Steve Ballmer in his small private conf room.<br/><br/>Very cool to see XBRL still alive and thriving, and excited in particular by the intersection with PowerPivot.<br/><br/>If you ever want to do a guest post on <a target="new" rel="nofollow" href="http://powerpivotpro.com,">http://powerpivotpro.com,</a> let me know.  I&#39;d be excited to host it.<br/><br/>-rob]]></description></item><item><title>SEO Organic India comments on Comparing XML, XBRL and RDF: Initial Observations</title><author>SEO Organic India</author><pubDate>Sat, 04 Dec 2010 13:04:08 +0000</pubDate><link>http://xbrl.squarespace.com/journal/2010/5/14/comparing-xml-xbrl-and-rdf-initial-observations.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">24118:165869:comment/10724216</guid><description><![CDATA[This is a great posting but i wants to know how i can make RDF for my website.

But as it is I am tagging data for financial companies, and struggle with the same &quot;document-centricity&quot;, the questions like whether we would prefer to drill down by Member or by concept (in deciding how to structure taxonomies), and that XBRL isn&#39;t leveraged to its fullest in its current state. Just wanted to show you support from an interested reader. Thanks!]]></description></item><item><title>paurlmax comments on Seeing Two New Metapatterns: Variance and Adjustment</title><author>paurlmax</author><pubDate>Wed, 24 Nov 2010 17:01:38 +0000</pubDate><link>http://xbrl.squarespace.com/journal/2010/8/14/seeing-two-new-metapatterns-variance-and-adjustment.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">24118:165869:comment/10629104</guid><description><![CDATA[You certainly have some agreeable opinions and views.

Roll-forward is to take a beginning balance, add changes and arrive at an ending balance.  Three different contexts - 2 instant and one duration.<br/><br/>The variance pattern depends on whether you are comparing a budgeted income statement of a budget balance sheet but the analyses are for the same period - comparison for actual and budget for the same period (income statement) or instant (balance sheet).  It is an example where a scenario element in a context would be used to distinguish between actual, budget and variance for the same concepts.  Since dimensions cannot be used for scenario (I think I read that somewhere) then actual, budget and variance would be domain members or variance would be the domain and actual and budget would be the domain members.  A little different from where a domain is usually the total and the domain members sum to the total.]]></description></item><item><title>Ryan comments on Imagine: iPad App for Reading Financial Statements</title><author>Ryan</author><pubDate>Tue, 10 Aug 2010 21:25:38 +0000</pubDate><link>http://xbrl.squarespace.com/journal/2010/4/2/imagine-ipad-app-for-reading-financial-statements.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">24118:165869:comment/9311934</guid><description><![CDATA[Does this really still not exist?]]></description></item><item><title>Aaron comments on IDEA (Interactive Data Electronic Applications)</title><author>Aaron</author><pubDate>Wed, 04 Aug 2010 02:04:16 +0000</pubDate><link>http://xbrl.squarespace.com/journal/2008/8/20/idea-interactive-data-electronic-applications.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">24118:165869:comment/9224982</guid><description><![CDATA[Where's the beef?
