Hi Ian

What you are suggesting is that we take all specialisations of a particular 
parent which cannot be determined from the ID at the moment and asking should 
this be in the ID?

The answer has to be that the specialised archetype must be a specialisation of 
the parent and for the moment that means looking inside the archetype (ie the 
regex is not sufficient in itself to guarantee that the parent is not another 
version).

Worth the techies getting their heads around.

Cheers, Sam

While you are looking at the regex rules, could you revisit the way that
'any specialisation of' is handled with respect to version numbers?

The current version of the regex allows symptom.v1* eg symptom-pain.v1
wheras the v1 should probably refer to the parent. Do we need to
consider versioning for both parent and specialisation?
Symptom.v1-pain.v3.3
