the new registry -- possible future directions

[Lee Gillam]

Peter,

If TC 37 achieves what it hopes to, you should be able to derive such a 
registry using 11179-3 conformant items already. Each "tag" is, after
all, a combination of "data categories" using TC 37 speak. Select your
own preferred font size for the "If" in the first sentence.
