    - Since there are multiple types of claims we will number them:
    - id="claims01" - this is the default and the most common in A docs. 
      For the translated versions in B docs "claims02" and "claims03"
    - lang
    - for claims for different contracting states also use claims01, claims02 etc.
    - claim-type - this is used only for Claims for different contracting states, eg.
      claim-type="Claim(s) for the following Contracting State(s): AT, BE" - this text used for the
      heading.

      Revendications pour les Etats contractants suivants
      Revendications pour l'Etat contractant suivant
