Thanks for that--especially the confirmation on greater accuracy

Yes--I had rather wondered about it's level of adoption.  My preference
would be to push toward the more widely adopted/appropriate
schema--whatever that might be.

Thanks for that info as I didn't know about that class.

I wonder if it is a new class or extensions to BSC as Kevin had offered.
If it is a new class, I hope that there might be similar backing to
it as exists w/ BSC to leverage interoperability.
