Boondoc,
I think AC did a pretty good job of setting up V6 to facilitate meeting the requirements for the core and menu items. The CQM's could use some work, perhaps along the lines that you suggest. Keep in mind that for now, CMS only asks that you report the numbers, not that you reach some threshold. They are satisfied that you can show the ability to report the data, so don't sweat this (at least for 2012 and 2013).
