Magnus and others: so some relevant stuff: I'm not spelling out HIPAA
because it would take up an entire line. And linking doesn't work either
for the text version of the release. So what it's sounding like is that
we just leave it out entirely.

For the European Directive, I've never seen an acronym for it; is there one?

Note that we used "world's leading database" last year, after some
survey data was published to back that up. If anything, that's even
more so this year.

However, it's not like "most advanced" is bad. So maybe use leading in
one place in advanced in the other.
