Hi Tony,

No offense intended, but that's not a task I'm willing to take on in 
addition to the commitments I already have.

Cheers,
Rex

Tony,

I encourage you to read http://www.niem.gov/pdf/NIEM-NDR-1-3.pdf - I do
believe NIEM has done a great job of addressing this already....

Also - there are some great articles to help clarify this on
http://grandpaham.com/category/niem/ particularly the following article:
http://grandpaham.com/2009/08/02/incorporate-external-standards-into-niem-no
t-exactly/ 

Thanks,
Lee
