Sounds like a good plan to me. But if we recycle at Proposed, why do 
we then not simply put the entSupplPhysicalManufacturingDate and the
entSupplPhysicalManufacturerInfo objects into the entPhysicalEntry
where they actually belong? A new compliance statement would deal
with these additions so existing implementations that comply to
entity2Compliance would not be affected.
