Very good, Gerard, me too, can support this idea, difficult about a not fully completed standard is that the interfaces will change, but I can survive that. On the other hand, localised specifications could make international traffic of medical data complicated, but I guess, wise men and wise women find solutions for that. Also will be good that CEN reports back, f.e. to this list, that there are changes, extensions, etc. A good idea would be if there would come a CEN specific and if possible, a developer-oriented public website, maybe for a small fee, if necessary. This would very much stimulate organisations and companies to implement the standards. I wouldn't mind CC-ing my questions to two lists, if necessary in the beginning when not many are using the new list.
