Naughty, naughty! While I don't take my own advice, getting upset with 
inanimate objects (sometimes antimate ones as well) just harms yourself. 
No matter how upset I get, the phone/fax/printer/etc. just hums 
blissfully away.

done and done.

OK but be aware that on date it is "eventType" since we had already used 
type.

We have used osisLanguage for the enumeration of types.

Will put in the attribute name as languageUsage (does that capture what 
you are looking for?), in the release later today. That will be the 
union of osisLanguageUsage and the attribute extension.

Look for it in 1.9.3.

Hope you are having a great day!
