Re: [xml-dev] Replace short codes when converting legacy to XML?

["G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@CraneSoftwrights.com>]

Thank you, Stephen!

Roger, this specification is in the process of being updated, with 
zero changes to the genericode schema itself:

  https://github.com/oasis-tcs/codelist-genericode/releases/tag/csd05wd01-20220202-2113z

Managing a code list through this specification will give you 
opportunities for multi-lingual documentation and other value-level 
metadata in addition to list-level metadata.

. . . . . Ken
