First: Disclosure neutrality
Core taxonomy should be predefined by current
financial reporting standards, including GAAP and
other regulatory disclosure and reporting requirements.
Second: Limited extensions
Taxonomy extensibility should maintain the level of
data comparability as defined by GAAP and other
regulatory requirements.
Third: Going global
Ultimately, companies should deliver required financial
reports to regulators using the established XBRL
framework
Fourth: Open Source
The general public should have equal access to the
XBRL tagged information
Fifth: Co-operation
Regulators should develop the necessary infrastructure
and protocol to ensure the timely updating of the
established XBRL framework as outlined in the
preceding four key principles

Disruptive innovation?
worse performance near-term
different value proposition
cheaper, simpler, smaller, and more convenient
launched in new or insignificant markets
leading customers do not want it at first
Sustaining innovation?
better performance of established products
measured along historically established
mainstream dimensions
may be radical or discontinuous, but still
sustains established firms
