To the extent that it can be cited and used in a limited framework, 

i.e. it is not necessary to accept it as the be-all definition of 

things, we have already accepted it for use in emergency management 

as one of many possible data element specifications. Where it fits 

well, I suspect it will be used, where it doesn't, it won't.

Cheers,

Rex
