[osis-core] NRSVA?

[Patrick Durusau]

Todd,

My memory accords with yours but I am writing the users manual, not 
constraints in the schema.

Suggesting that they use standard names, not which reference system to use.

What is the objection to reserving names that reflect a specific 
translation? We can either reserve them or not, but in any case users 
will use them.

Should I just say: Here are some common names for reference systems?

Whether discussed or not, I don't think any one associates NA27 with any 
reference system other than the one used in the NA27. Is there some 
ambiguity there?

Is there something I am missing here?

Hope you are having a great day!

Patrick
