RE: [ubl-ndrsc] Code lists: discussion kickoff

[Mavis Cournane <mavis.cournane@csw.co.uk>]

I don't think anything sensible or maintainable can come from one element
per code list value.

Arofan's option 3 sounds the most reasonable so far. I don't see it as
particularly negative to treat codelists in a special way.

In terms of an initial release how many Code Lists would we include to make
it useful?

Mavis
