My only concern is how widely the message is spreading. I went to 2 meetings last week. One with a group of FTSE 100 finance directors, and the second with a group of IRO's. Both said that they did not understand XBRL, and that they did not sincerely believe it would happen - at least not soon. Count me in as a convertee however.
