This is just a small thing, but at the moment there is as far as I know 
no published convention in IHTSDO or elsewhere for the lingustic 
referencing of coded terms in literature, including specifications and 
academic papers. To see what I mean, see 
http://www.openehr.org/wiki/display/term/Proposal+for+linguistic+convention+for+referencing+coded+terms

Ed Cheetham at CFH pointed out the Snomed constraint syntax in the HL7 
TermInfo DSTU 
-http://www.hl7.org/v3ballot/html/welcome/environment/index.htm
Foundation ? Using SNOMED CT -> Annex B.3

This is not quite the same thing, but overlaps. Obviously, a syntax for 
computing purposes and a syntax for human purposes might not be the same 
thing but since the constraint syntax is an abstract syntax, it should 
not be hard to develop a superset that can be used for all purposes.

feedback welcome.
