I just realized that mimeCode is another 
attribute that is based on a CEFACT code list and 
it doesn't have any meta data attributes at all 
... yet another difference in the treatment of attributes based on code lists.

This leads me to my earlier question of meta data for the genericode file:

Even though it cannot be tested (because there 
are no meta data attributes for mimeCode) I think 
it is still important to have meta data in the 
genericode file describing the set of codes found in the file.

Thanks!
