Walter Berendsohn proposes additional<br/>
  X = Mixed<br/>
  N = Not applicable.

I have doubts that the mixed type is appropriate for human-administrative purposes, Walter thinks he is applicable for groups.
However, it is not part of the ISO standard (see comments on the html form) intended for non-clinical, administrative purposes. I think mixed is more appropriate in the <nop>SexStatusEnum, not in <nop>BasicSexStatusEnum.

Walter writes further: Not applicable is appropriate for example for Fungi in a botanical collection - where many organisms have a sex that can be defined as male/female, but not the fungi.
