Sure, but if the document is a business document ignoring something that MUST NOT be ignored then voids the business transaction. > When you get told by the communicator to ignore this and not that, you tend > to think about just ignoring the whole jolly lot... because the message > becomes to conveluted, confusing and too much effort to understand. However if you get told for purposes of doing x use the Y parts, for the purpose of doing x2 use Y parts + Y2, and in order to do x2, x3 or anything else you must first do x, then you may decide to implement your system for x and x2 but not anything above that, and anything for x-> beyond x2 will be ignored. In other words your description of the meanings that may be layered on top of may ignore is lacking in actual real world usage of may ignore. Cheers, Bryan Rasmussen
