I don't think its a solution either, but given the current mess we are in I'll take something I think is achievable and look for solutions later. I think it is needed anyway even for the minimalist "solution" suggested in the "View" Document. It happily presupposes that coming up with a common set of mappings for the ISO entity names is easy. Basically I think that either you need to take that on as an activity or modify the document to acknowledge that such a unified set currently doesn't exist and that making such a set is too big a job for you to contemplate taking on. Of course it would be difficult to add such a comment without changing the document's dissmisive tone that there really isn't any problem, but that wouldn't be a bad thing.
