Hi Gerard,

we need to be specific here: what are the attributes? I think that for 
example ICD10 (version = "10" or are there interim releases?) does not 
tell you the language. As far as I know, people get ICD10 in a file in 
whatever their language is and just call it "ICD10" - I don't know of a 
formal naming scheme for it including the language.

well I see plenty! But we are probably talking about different things 
here...
