The introduction sounds more like an advertisement. This passage is not neutral:
"The U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), in coordination with the Federal Reserve Board and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, launched a large and very successful XBRL project ..." (emphasis added)
This project is described in the Note [2] at the end of this paragraph which includes a useful explanation of this project. Also, within the FDIC's 2006 Annual Report they cite this project in the following paragraph: ""Central Data Repository The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), which includes the FDIC, won a 2006 award from Government Computer Newsfor outstanding and innovative use of IT in government for the successful launch of the new Central Data Repository (CDR) to collect Call Report data using XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language). The CDR project was also awarded the Chief Information Officer’s Top 100 award for its outstanding work using XBRL for financial reporting.""

The following passage should be rephrased to state facts instead of conclusions, or at least documentation should be provided.
"This coordinated U.S. project has proven that XBRL can provide real business value by reducing burden and duplication, improving data transparency and enabling more timely analysis."
