Actually, that wasn't a reply, that was meant for 
committee discussion.  My reply would have been 
essentially "thanks for the input but the issues 
are out of scope" followed by, perhaps, one line 
for each issue, and refer to our charter.  I 
spelled it out in discussion to see if anyone 
else felt as I did on reading his note.

I totally agree ... but I'm trying to spark 
discussion and spelled out my thoughts.

I believe Tony touched on this at the last call 
when he mentioned that genericode provides for 
being able to point to other genericode files ... 
if the registry had a genericode representation 
of its codes, a user can point to that from a genericode file.

Tony, I'm reviewing the requirements to see where 
this referencing is covered ... can you cite where this is being addressed?

Thanks!
