i need to understand more about this.  we have defined virtually no
observation query codes in the spec, but we have defined a COAS naming
convention for HL7 and CEN codes, shown in DSObservationQualifiers and
DSObservationRelations, respectively.  This naming convention, in theory,
provides thousands of Observation codes and return values "out of the box".

could these be used to support Trading?

p.s., a lexicon clarification: by "observation query code" i mean something
like "DNS:omg.org/HL723/...", while an Observation type to me means
something like DSObservationValue::Multimedia
