I think we need to wait until the final rule is published by the SEC in the Federal Register to determine exactly what to do. This information should be available mid to late January 2009 and will most likely trigger changes to the EDGAR manual and the XBRL US preparer’s guide.

I have a doubt as to the detailed notes tagging,

The preparers guide says, that when one is doing detailed notes tagging, one needs to tag the text block first & then go on for tagging notes in details. It mentions the narrative disclosures also. I picked up a sample filing from xbrl.us of 3M, whose notes have been tagged in details.

They are following the same principle as suggested in preparers guide, preparers guide is pretty simple explaining the detailed notes tagging.

However, going through the Edgar filers draft released recently, it explains the detailed tagging rule in an incomprehensible way.

Can you throw some light on it.
