"Thanks to (1), all my HL7 messages in my SQS FIFO queue won't process because carriage returns broke the client."

Did my time with HL7. One of those cases where a standard didn't serve any real purpose. It gave the appearance that it might work, but then bred a whole industry of HL7 <-> HL7 translators because nobody's HL7 is the same. If you need a translator/hub, everyone might as well have their own protocol.

Yeah.

I also work with X12 which is far more consistent (because if it isn't, you don't get paid).

But the format itself is -- believe it or not -- even worse.
