This product does not necessarily imply a >third, producer+consumer CoP. I see the confusion, the wording of the Discussion is clear. A given CoP can't match more than one term - what can match is a specific product, that is a specific product can fall into multiple CoPs. Which rewording do you like better? 1) If the specification addresses more than one CoP, list all that apply. 2) It is not unusual for a specific product to match more than one term in the list. --lynne
