Subject: Re: [regrep] UK Government Registry Requirements
Peter, Thanks for pointing this out. The only thing I can think of is that they are confused and are thinking that UBL payloads are mandated for ebXML. The UBL address format is indeed a quirky beast, loosely based on the OASIS CIQ. The CIQ team is working with UBL and the Royal Mail to try and get this fixed. I wish UBL would adopt CAM templates as this would immediately fix this whole issue around supporting 1,000+ postal address formats worldwide from a single structure instance. The solution in CAM is to have a context driven sub-assembly "Address" that then resolves to a locale address layout. Anyway - back to your point - indeed we need to correct the mistaken notion that ebXML is mandating address formats for payloads. The whole point of ebXML is that it is agnostic to payload formats.
