I should have mentioned that ebXML Registry defines the User type in RIM 
which really should have been sub-classed from a Person type (this could 
be a trivial change for V3 if there is support and interest). The User 
type defines all usual attributes of a person including structured name, 
address, telephone number, email address etc. It even associates a 
digital certificate with a person. Finally, like the rest of RIM classes 
it is entirely attribute extensible. Thus a User / Person class could be 
used to meet the needs of the EU Address Validation Service. Note that 
the User / Person class may be used independent of anything else in the 
registry since it is not a composed object within another type.
