Term:	ReportingChecklistRule
Label:	Reporting Checklist Rule
Key:	48
Category:	Type of Rule (Assertion)
Description:	A reporting checklist rule is a rule that describes the reportability of a disclosure. (A reporting checklist is similar to a disclosure checklist.)
Commentary:	This type of rule is not explicitly expressed by XBRL, but XBRL does attempt to do something similar with the 'requires-element' arcrole. Essentially, the reporting checklist rules greatly expand on the 'requires-element' to articulate (a) structures that are ALWAYS REQUIRED in a report; (b) structures that are required IF SOME FACT IS REPORTED, say the 'Cash and Cash Equivalents Policy' is REQUIRED if the line item 'Cash and Cash Equivalents' is reported; (c) if structure A is reported; then structure B is also required to be reported; (d) structure X is an allowed alternative to structure Y; etc.
