Thanks Eliot,
I hope we can arrive at a solution that will stand up over time.
This sounds good, as does the note that Doug passed along from
v1.2.
Cheers,
Rex

common misuses of the value "unknown". Here's some text to
consider: "For a value coded as 'unknown' there is no basis to
treat it as having a minimal, a maximal, or any other value".

In CAP 1.2 we added "to no known" to the statement associated
with CAP Severity Minor; it now reads "Minimal to no known
threat to
life or property". I believe we have a clear value for
"insignificant".
I look at the use of "unknown" as A. Lazy or B. Managing
issuer
risk, as it may be easier to defend the ongoing practice of
using unknown
than it is a stated value that proves to be less or greater
than it
should have been. If we are to add a value, we might need "Not
willing to state one".
My two cents…

Subject: [emergency-rim] The value of "Unknown" for Urgency,
Severity, Certainty in CAP and Elsewhere
Hi Everyone,
In today's EM RIM meeting we discussed the issue of how the
value of
"Unkown" for Urgency, Severity and Certainty is commonly
taken,
how the
weather service uses it and how it is viewed by other domains
in
Emergency Management. We are thinking of changing it or
defining it more
emphatically or removing it in favor of other value terms
which might be
better understood.
So we are asking your opinions on and experience in this.
Best Regards,
Rex
