organization, some aspects of tailoring will be required. It is
recommended that the tailored version of this specification is referred
to in the project's contractual documentation. This tailoring must not
affect the XML Schemas or its basic philosophies, but must be restricted
to tailoring within the narrative specification.

details of the agreed tailoring of this specification. These rules must
cover the requirements for optional elements, their population from
specific data sources, and the use of specific values.
