The key difference though is that I came to the figures via a comparison 
based upon real templates & archetypes within the NHS subversion 
repository @ http://svn.openehr.org/knowledge/

i.e. it was not plucked from the air but was based upon a fair few real 
openehr artefacts.

I can send you the transform & you too can do real world comparisons.
