I agree that BBIEs that are not prose oriented 
(e.g. descriptions, notes, instructions) should 
be 0..1 or 1..1.  If there is a requirement for 
more than one such BBIE, then there should be an 
ASBIE pointing to an ABIE with the BBIE with 0..1 
or 1..1.  Such an approach allows for future 
versions of the standard to associate other 
information with each of the identifiers that is 
not conceived of at this early stage.  If we 
leave the BBIE as "0..n" or "1..n", then it is 
impossible to associate information with each individual BBIE in the future.

I hope this is considered helpful.
