would it help to separate and decide (agree) for GNUmed to treat

1) "normal" as a property of what the *lab* maintains to be its reference range 
for this test, and

2) "target" we can cover in a separate thread since we may have to disambiguate 
the desirable range which the lab may supply / suggest as the "usual 
therapeutic range" from the situation where the clinician may know (and GNUmed 
may eventually support) to store and inform as to a preferred target range 
specific for that patient
