Since this is going on github, why not expand it a bit to allow people to submit things like stylesheets for different types of media/screen sizes or even JavaScript code for formatting the CCD XML format or maybe doing different internationalization formats? Anyway the next step after the design is for everyone to try to code the same design, so might as well at least be open to that part of it.

I don't really have time but if I wanted my submission to be considered I would try to cheat that way by creating working JavaScript code that processed XML and spit out different formatted versions for phones vs. larger screens and also different languages.

We're having a quick discussion tomorrow - we currently have .HTML. We are going to add .CSS and .JS.

Anything else we are missing?

Please excuse the off-topic rant: It's my mission right now to change something a little different about EMR design. You're looking at the output. That's wonderful and I am really happy about it. We also need to fix input. EMR/EHR interfaces are mostly terrible; that has significant negative consequences for both patients and providers.

You're looking for an output design that is effective as a physical document. Please consider a follow-up challenge for EMR input UI/UX.

Not sure how this thing works but maybe allow people to submit a URL to a working demo?
Do you know where there are any samples a CCD XML file or better yet, a DTD for their format?
