Debbie,
This is the same for us. This is why we could have used your table. 
Something we could have achieved had we cooperated when I proposed it 
to you last year. Except that our main points are exhaustivity, 
polynomy, ccTAGs perspective, open sources, real life operations for 
Multilinc and semantic addressing. On the long range I do not think 
there is any real harm nor interoperability problem, only more manual 
work and checking. On another hand it will provide mutual cross 
validation - what seems to be a good thing similar to the TC37/TC46 
necessary cooperation.
