Re: [codelist] a codelist

["Anthony B. Coates (Miley Watts)" <abcoates@mileywatts.com>]

Interesting.  In terms of examples for the specification, I was thinking  
of using existing code lists in genericode format like those for UBL  
and/or FpML.  However, those are simpler examples, a more complex example  
might be interesting, especially if anybody could volunteer to have a go  
at putting one together for me to use.

Cheers, Tony.
