This is a very minor revision of the DMBM #8 output of the IED-s breakout group, April 29, 2004 at GA02 (http://www.dmpf.org/project/ga02/DMBM_list.htm). It provides a stand-alone template (which was inadvertently missing) for future revision, gives DEU's generated at the breakout the numbers later assigned to them, and amends DEU 23 with its revised title.
