I'm afraid that the usage of condition expression doesn't meet JEITA's
requirement.

In my understanding, condition expression and variable are shared
information between parties (e.g., referencing a part of an exchanged
business document).

On the other hand, whether a party wants to attach a defined
Attachment or not depends on the party's own decision, not on the
shared information.
