Yogi Berra on XBRL for MBS........."This is like deja vu all over again."

[Miles P. Jennings, Jr.]

XBRL proposed formatting for MBS must remind old XBRL hands of Yogi's quote.

I was reading Bob Schneider's blog at Hitachi Data Interactive and was led to Paul Wilkinson's blog. I have now added Wilkinson's blog to the XBRL Network list.

If Members know of other relevant blogs to add to our list, let me know!

And do check out Bob Schneider's commentary in which he discusses the U. S. MBS issues and solutions.

Quick now, what was Yogi's number? Clue: there is only one positive integer that "goes on forever." Give up.

I thought you were going after XML for baseball, but that would be Yogi Berra on XBRL for MLB, not MBS.

This piece by Mike Willis and Michael Smith actually does combine discussion of America's Favorite Pastime and XBRL:
