In this case its just a matter of conflicting wishes :-) The SA team is used
to having an explicit period type for each data element and wanted this
implemented. But since we currently are allowing data elements to appear in
multiple datasets with different period types (as you point out) and it will
cause you trouble we should maybe avoid it.
