Ken, do you need the descriptions in English or can they be in the language of the locality?

Good question! They should be in the language of the locality.

You mean you didn't get them?    Generally, .5 releases indicate a significant step between major version releases.  This is far from universal, but it's been that way on some of my professional projects, so it's stuck with me.

Also, since this version will be required to communicate with DPO+, stepping to 3.5 instead of 3.2 will reduce the potential for confusion between 3.1.2 and 3.2.

Edit TV Ratings. As of yet I have not been able to find any Rating system for UK TV. Over here there is a form of Gentleman's agreement between companies that content will be shown at times suitable to what is considered "Bedtimes" for children of certain ages.
ie
mild swearing etc not before 7PM
stronger swearing / nudity not before 9PM
as for full nudity (only available on PPV Satellite Channels).


I wouldn't class us as having any different ratings for TV shows. How they are classed when they are broadcast is irrelevant IMHO.

If your question was meant as a wisecrack, you used the wrong smiley to indicate so . Just an observation with no criticism intended .

There is only one thing to correct in Finnish ratings. Due to the number of available ratings, two ratings were combined 13/15. Now we can split this.

3    Sallittu kaikenikäisille
7    Kielletty alle 7-vuotiailta
11  Kielletty alle 11-vuotiailta
13  Kielletty alle 13-vuotiailta
15  Kielletty alle 15-vuotiailta
18  Kielletty alle 18-vuotiailta

We do not have separate ratings for film and television.

In France, we have:

<Rating Name="U" Description="Tous publics"/>
<Rating Name="12" Description="Interdit aux moins de 12 ans" Age="12"/>
<Rating Name="16" Description="Interdit aux moins de 16 ans" Age="16"/>
<Rating Name="18" Description="Interdit aux moins de 18 ans" Age="18"/>
</Ratings>


Even if it's not official, on some DVD we have also "Accord Parental".
So it should be:
<Rating Name="U" Description="Tous publics"/>
<Rating Name="AP" Description="Accord Parental"/>
<Rating Name="12" Description="Interdit aux moins de 12 ans" Age="12"/>
<Rating Name="16" Description="Interdit aux moins de 16 ans" Age="16"/>

I left that one out due to the nature of where it is implimented, since it doesn't relate to DVD, Video, Computer Games, as you pointed out in your RED Highlight.

But I do wonder how much longer it will be before we have TV Ratings...due to the introduction of ratings for downloadable TV content (BBC's iplayer, Sky's iplayer etc) coming into force this last week or so?

If the DVd is bought in a sex shop why does that make it not applicable?
