XBRL International, a global consortium of more than 200
accounting, technology and financial service organizations, releases
version 2.1 of extensible business reporting language (XBRL), a
protocol for electronic financial reporting (
www.xbrl.org/newsandevents/index.asp?sid=4 ). The new implementation
will make it easier for software developers to create XBRL tools that
work without major modifications to operating systems.
