XBRL Wiki-onomy Explodes

The number of unique extension tags, tags companies create when they can't find a good fit in the current US GAAP dictionary, had been running around 8,000 . There are roughly 15,000 in the standard US GAAP set.

This quarter the number exploded to about 48,500. The main cause of the increase is probably the set of companies that had to move into "detailed" tagging. That means placing every number in the Notes section of their 10-Q into this format.

This number is way north of any expectations I had heard.

Beginning next year, the government plans to publish new, supplemental poverty figures that are expected to show even higher numbers of people in poverty than previously known. The figures will take into account rising costs of medical care, transportation and child care, a change analysts believe will add to the ranks of both seniors and working-age people in poverty.
