I see....so you are saying that NOAA may receive the following:
<cap:description>A major cyclone is .... </cap:description>
<cap:instruction>Evacuate now...</cap:instruction>
And that they may then forward that message on (via various
mechanisms) with the last element missing...
This sounds like the need for a "community profile" on the behaviours
for processing the (technical) CAP data..
