I agree, including the part about auto-interpreting + and -

My concern would however remain if -- GNUmed being i18n -- we would extend to 
auto-interpret alpha characters like H and L, unless you think special i18n is 
suitable for this purpose. My concern would be that lab result importers might 
import directly into the backend without a mapped translation of how GNUmed 
interprets characters in various source labs' indicator fields.
