Virtually all of the comments received on the UBL comment list are
spam. We were promised a fix to this months ago. (I can't
imagine what that fix could be, but that's what we were promised.)

If that creates the expectation that we're going to have time to
answer questions, a lot of people are going to be disappointed.
We refer questions about UBL to the ubl-dev list and let the user
community handle them as they will.
If there's a standards organization in existence that commits to
answering users' questions in addition to their technical work,
I'd like to know about it.
