Thank you, Oriol.

Indeed. A copy/paste problem.  Looking in table 
8-2 it is properly named "Indicator. Format. 
Text".  I also edited the definition field to 
contain the corresponding column value from 8-2.

I would rather remove them from the version we 
obtain from UN/CEFACT.  This document I'm 
preparing today is our submission to UN/CEFACT 
for their consideration, so it needs to be 
complete for their needs and their decision to 
bake in code list references.  Certainly for 
testing purposes I'll be creating for SGTG a 
derivative of whatever we send to UN/CEFACT.  We 
can use that temporary derivative until we create 
a derivative of an "official" copy we obtain from UN/CEFACT.

Thank you again for the quick response and for 
your sharp eye in catching my editing 
problem.  I'm having a difficult time reviewing 
it because I've been staring at it too long.

I have attached version 20090513-1130z to use if 
no-one else finds any problems.
