The ranges will be different across labs and across types of measurement due to "precision available", "reagants used", "technology applied", and a variety of other ugly real-world factors. Even for the very same LOINC from the very same lab. I don't think this knowledge should (or can) live in the archetype but rather be stored with the data and/or the interpretation of the data.
