Still I think that the result of your joint effort should be adapted by representatives of the communities who are discussing on this list (and preferably some others to) and if all agree on it bring it further into the formal standardization process. Maybe would coudl see it then as a WWTA (World Wide Technical Agreement). To answer you question, important technical agreed standards should still become formal standards because, at least here in Europe, they can be incorporated in laws. Informal standards or technical agreements can't. And that's an important issue when governments are going to make (or adapt) legislation about EHR's I also wonder what the others think of this effort. People in Ed's group or the DCM people should possibly benefit from this as well or do they see that differently? Cheers, Stef
