C.8.25.16.5.1 Calculated IOL Macro Attribute Descriptions
C.8.25.16.5.1 Calculation Comment Sequence

Specific behaviors associated with Calculation Comment Type (0022,112B) are left to implementations to define. For example, the user might be expected to be notified about a comment with a type of WARNING whereas they might have to seek out comments with a type of INFORMATIVE. However, since this is an optional Attribute, and one that was added to this Module after its original definition, and there are no SOP Class specific constraints on display behavior, the sender cannot be guaranteed that a receiving system or user will not ignore or discard the comments.
