Allowance/charge ChargeIndicator value MUST equal 'true' or 'false'

Why it fails

An allowance/charge indicator is not literally 'true' or 'false'.

How to fix it

Use lowercase true or false. '1', '0', 'True' and 'Y' all fail.

What the validator checks

CII — context ram:AppliedTradeAllowanceCharge

normalize-space(ram:ChargeIndicator/udt:Indicator/text()) = 'true' or normalize-space(ram:ChargeIndicator/udt:Indicator/text()) = 'false'

UBL — context —

normalize-space(cbc:ChargeIndicator/text()) = 'true' or normalize-space(cbc:ChargeIndicator/text()) = 'false'

This is a Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 rule: an invoice can be perfectly valid EN 16931 and still be rejected by it.
