It is NOT different this time, and XBRL will not avoid the coming crisis
There has been a lot of discussion suggesting that if there had been an XBRL taxonomy for MBSs and other CDOs (etc) and a taxonomy for government stimulus spending, that somehow the next crisis can either be averted or reduced - that the lack of transparency was a cause of the last crisis, and will contribute to the next.

For 20-plus years, I have struggled to learn Japanese. A primary challenge has been to remember some 2,000 characters Japan imported from China.

The Seamless Audit Trail
Eric Cohen and other XBRL-GL evangelists have been advocating the idea of a seamless audit trail for some time now.
