We've agreed on a slightly different conclusion, unless perhaps it was 
changed during the meeting that I missed.

Our final proposal suggested that *-Use-* be delivered OOTB as either 
*-Placebo-* or *-Standard-* and not *-Stock-*.  An early code list task 
group meeting discussion concluded that validation was not to interfere for 
those implementers/users who did not care about values OOTB and that a 
conscious effort was required to engage *-Stock-* values.

Of course it is equally valid to decide that OOTB works with *-Stock-* and 
would require the implementer/user to consciously turn value validation off 
by engaging *-Placebo-*.

It is obvious that some of the group intuitively felt that OOTB value 
checking was on and others felt that value checking was off.  From a 
business or usability perspective I can go either way and don't have a 
preference, and it should be a simple change to Chee-Kai's program to pick 
one or the other for the *-Use-* OOTB.

Had the proposal from the group been changed during the last meeting?

p.s. my trip to Oslo has been postponed to November (possibly precluding my 
trip to San Francisco, but that remains to be seen); as a result I am 
planning now to make it to Tuesday's LCSC teleconference, but it will be my 
last teleconference until San Francisco.
