Sounds reasonable.

Oh, as long as not explicitely supported it could either:

- pass them as if they were certain

- pass them as a pseudo-allergy "suspected: this, that,
  those" which will not at all be computable by FreeDiams
  but would still serve as a reminder to the clinician

@Eric, BTW: FreeDiams might actually use the "EMR" value (if
available) - it could adjust the window title to say
something along the lines "connected to ...".
