5f)     The document states: "The document does not attempt to dictate the format in which the accounting records are stored at a local site, instead it meant to be a common exchange format"
 
NorduGrid fully supports this approach (we assume "Grid" everywhere we read "site"), we consider the UR as an exchange format between Grids. This implies that the GGF UR should be powerful enough to "accommodate" other Grid/local Usage Records. Later in these  comments, a mapping of the NorduGrid UR attributes to the GGF UR attributes is presented. Unfortunately, not all of the planned NorduGrid UR information can be described in the GGF UR without relying on the GGF UR Extensions.
Evaluation: Editor will add clarifying text to document
