-Olivier Questions: 
-  - Do we really want to have 1 line for each PDF replica? Would not be better to quote the theoretical uncertainty in % ? 
-  - What about non LHC collision (fix target/ DIS/...)? This requires 2 PDF id. 
-  - other scheme are often used like HT/2 and (CKKW ones) are not even analytic. 
-  - What about NNLO or NNLL?  
-  - using some xml tag in a non xml like file is weird (or I do not understand where you plan to write such information). 
-  - Missing the information of the statistical uncertainty 
- 
 Stefan comments: Stefan comments:
-    - PREFERRED OPTION: In order to deal with resummation I suggest to add a second digit to QCD_ORDER, i.e. 0=LO, 1=NLO, 2=NNLO, etc. 11=NLO+NLL, 21=NNLO+NLL,​ 22=NNLO+NNLL,​ etc.. Only LO+LL=00 is then not well defined. And this approach is not specific to what is actually resummed (p_T, threshold,​...). TYPE of resummation as a COMMENT. 
-    -  
   - OPTIONAL: For EW corrections it would be helpful to somehow encode if full factorization is assumed or not. => Implement as a comment what scheme is used to combine QCD and EW corrections. ​   - OPTIONAL: For EW corrections it would be helpful to somehow encode if full factorization is assumed or not. => Implement as a comment what scheme is used to combine QCD and EW corrections. ​

-  - Some codes also give a scale uncertainty in the same run. Can this be added?
