    Subject: Re: [ubl-ndrsc] Important eBTWG Code/CCT discussion


    After reading (quickly, I admit) through this thread, I'm not sure 
    there's a lot of merit in the idea of unifying codes and identifiers at 
    some level.  I would want to ask the question: What hard benefit might 
    come out of seeing one of them "derived from" the other or both of them 
    "derived from" a common ancestor somehow?  For example, would there be 
    any processing code in common that could make use of this family 
    relationship?
    
    I suspect the answer is that there's no benefit; what's more useful is 
    the particular pattern of supplementary components they each have, which 
    distinguishes rather than unifying them.  Also, to me they simply seem 
    like different enough beasts (identifier semantics include uniqueness, 
    while code semantics convey classification according to a published 
    scheme) to justify keeping them separate.  And this isn't even to 
    address the difficulties we've been having with understanding 
    identifiers on their own...
    
    However, I may not have enough context to understand the argument being 
    made.  Can you expound?
