[DDI-SRG] Ok we lost everyone but Arofan

[Wendy Thomas]

Achim,

I agree we need it to be clean and clear without being redundant. I'll 
look at this also. I can concentrate on this today...as we need to get 
these nailed down sooner rather than later. I see it as a good sign that 
we are dealing with the gorry details of very specific situtions rather 
than structural things. I think we can solve these, or maybe SDMX already 
has and we can borrow. Getting it out on the list is the best approach at 
this point.
