I'm basically in agreement with the CLRTC taking on responsbility for  
this, subject to the resriction that for this to be a CLRTC document, it  
needs to focus on code lists *exclusively*, and on genericode exclusively  
as the code list format.  It should not discuss validation of constraints  
that are not related to code lists or not related to genericode.  This  
will narrow the focus of the document compared to the UBL version.

There are many references to UBL and trading partners that are not  
appropriate for a CLRTC document, and these should be removed or replaced,  
but I am assuming the document will be rewritten for CLRTC.  In  
particular, much of the text could be expressed more simply and concisely,  
and we should try and to this.

Cheers, Tony.
