That brings up an interesting point, then ... what is the definitive 
version of each code list?  The publishing date or the version 
documented inside.  Actually, I just looked and the version 
documented inside is sometimes the publishing date and sometimes an 
arbitrary number.  Hopefully there is integrity in the arbitrary 
number.  I should be able to check with other genericode files we've 
published with arbitrary numbers.

But I don't think we are chasing our tail.  We simply publish the 
latest code lists with the latest version found in each code list 
file, and then trading partners can choose to use those files or 
choose to use other files.  The second pass data type qualifications 
we publish are not normative but simply represent the qualifications 
the committee believes will help the community of users.

Ah, then while the schemas are not expected to change between PRD3 
and CS01 we can still consider updating the code lists using the 
latest lists with the latest version numbers.
