Please do.  Point us to whatever groups you post to so we can monitor the discussion.

EU directive:
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:02006L0112-20130815&rid=2  Section 4, article 226.

One could argue that where it says "required" it's a bit like me saying you need (to be wearing) a tie to get into my club, It's not a "legal" requirement but, you aren't going to get in without (wearing) one.  Unlike the exceptions for simplified invoices (article 226b) though, there are no exceptions to the tie rule.
