+    The label "nickname" and description text of this structure were introduced
+    with version 5.5 in 1996, but are understood differently by different users.
+    Some use `NICK` only for names that would be inappropriate in formal settings.
+    Some use it for pseudonyms regardless of where they are used. Some use it for
+    any variant of a name that is not the one used on legal documents. Because all
+    of these uses, and likely others as well, are common in existing data, no
+    further clarification of the meaning of the `NICK` structure is possible
+    without contradicting some existing data.
