Hi Tim, I just was going through my spam folder on gmail and found a few openehr emails from you - I don't know why gmail is flagging them as spam.. but anyway in answer to your question.. > The width attribute is defined as a DV_DURATION type and it is required. > However the text says that it should be Void if the Interval_Event is > instantaneous. There is also an invariant preventing width from being > Void. I always read this to mean "where the event is instantaneous (i.e a POINT_EVENT) the duration is void". So I would contend that an INTERVAL_EVENT cannot be instantaneous, rather than allowing the INTERVAL_EVENT duration to be 0. I agree that the wording could be better to clarify which interpretation is right.. Andrew
