  I don't think there is anything else. The data and checking
  files should be ready for other, but that depends how for
  one wants to push XSD checking. XML Schema seems a dead-end
  technology to me but I could be wrong.

  I think so. But that's a general aera of confusion in the JEL.
  I really don't do any transformation with the JEL codes, I just
  report them. For the moment, I suggest you make that transformation.

  Not really. Please send me these records and I will examine them
  manually.

  No, it is merely a syntactic convenience to group certain
  adjectives together.

  Only the latter.
