So if the include is ALL & the Exclude is ALL (as I believe one can do in the tool) that would be the same as Include ALL? > > The issue here is backward compatibility and new archetypes.

I am a little concerned with the overlap twixt the Archetype editor & the template editor in that in the template editor, unless one excludes all then one can add what ever archetype you want to a given archetype in whihc case....what's the point of doing so in the archetype editor? i.e. I can see a division of labour occuring where a core team defines archetypes & then a team working with hospitals etc define the archetypes. Were that to be the case & were the core team to say "this archetype can only contain....." then they might get concerned if template designers can then go ahead & include any they feel like.
