Just a heads-up for people using the web interface to anonymize patient data.  
I noticed that the following tags do not get anonymized:  
0010,0021 (_IssuerOfPatientID_)

0010,1002 (_OtherPatientIDsSequence_)

For reference, the default anonymization profile of Orthanc removes all the tags listed in Table E.1-1 (“Basic Application Level Confidentiality Profile Attributes”) from PS 3.15-2008 (“DICOM Part 15: Security and System Management Profiles”) [1].

The two tags you list are not present in this version of the Table, but can be added by tuning the underlying REST call.
