EDGAR Filer Manual rule 6.8.6 prohibits the use of company-specific or period-specific information in element names. Does this apply to all item types?
EFM 6.8.6 applies to elements with item types other than ‘domainItemType’. Elements with other item types, including (but not limited to) monetary, percent, integer, shares, per share, string, or text block item types, should not include company-specific or period-specific information in the element name. Domain members may include company-specific or period-specific information in the element name. For example, filers should not create a monetary element with the name “AcquisitionOfDEFCo” or 4thQuarterAdjustment”. However, they may create a domain member with the name “ABCSegmentMember”.
