117		2.A	2.A.75	79		A-Q	String data is left justified (i.e., no leading blank space) with trailing blanks optional.		What does "optional" mean in this context? Are trailing blanks significant, or can applications freely trim those off without changing the meaning of a message? Is it supposed to be consistent with TX in which trailing spaces should be removed?	InM-6	Persuasive with mod	Clarify Optional , add guidance to include /x20/ when you need to send only a blank.
124	Pub	2.A				NEG		CWE.2 - Descriptive Text is never required, but is recommended to be populated with either a text human-readable string published by the code system publisher from which the code in CWE.1 is drawn, or some other string which conveys a “reasonably synonymous” meaning with the semantics of the code. This may be a site or user defined string rather than one published with the code system, or may be one that is specified in an Implementation Guide; there are no hard and fast rules dictating its use.

118		2.A	2.A.75	79		A-T	Any displayable (printable) ACSII characters (hexadecimal values between 20 and 7E, inclusive, or ASCII decimal values between 32 and 126), except the defined escape characters and defined delimiter characters.	Any displayable (printable) ASCII characters (hexadecimal values between 20 and 7E, inclusive, or ASCII decimal values between 32 and 126), except the defined escape characters and defined delimiter characters, are allowed.	This is a sentence fragment which contains no verb, and "ASCII" is misspelled.	InM-6	persuasive
119		2.A	2.A.75	79		NEG	Any displayable (printable) ACSII characters (hexadecimal values between 20 and 7E, inclusive, or ASCII decimal values between 32 and 126), except the defined escape characters and defined delimiter characters.	Any displayable (printable) characters are allowed based on the character set identified in MSH-18. For the default ASCII characters set this is hexadecimal values between 20 and 7E, inclusive, or decimal values between 32 and 126, except the defined escape characters and defined delimiter characters. For Unicode this is any code point with a Basic Type of Graphic; see The Unicode Standard section 2.4 <http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode9.0.0/ch02.pdf> for details.	ST values should no longer be limited to ASCII characters now that MSH-18 supports other character sets such as UNICODE UTF-8.	InM-7	Persuasive

125	Pub	2.A	2.a.13.5Value Set OID			NEG			The text reads in such a way that all CWE fields must be bound to an HL7 Table with a number; this is not true when OBX-5 is used to carry CWE type result values, and the value set OID is a non-HL7 value set. Thus the Meaningful Use guides are non-compliant to the usage defined in this paragraph. Must be fixed.		Pending Input from Submitter	Please provide wording
