Andrew, I, too, agree that sharing/cooperating in the development
of value sets where ever possible will increase the likelihood of
interoperability immensly. There will be instances where such
cooperation may not be possible because of national etc.
differences; however, even there, registry services could handle
cross mappings etc.

I was prompting you for the sort of explanation you have just given. As
interoperability is of concern, I agree with you idea that shared value sets
will be useful, if we can achieve them.
