Re: [ietf-provreg] legal entity vs individual person
Ed,
I don't know how to compare one of these:
<contact:disclose flag=N><t1><t2>...<tn></contact:disclose>
and one of these:
<greeting>...<dcp><T1><T2>...<TN></dcp></greeting>
If not both can exist at any time, I don't care that I don't know how
to compare little-t thingees and BIG-T thingees.
All Andy's solved is flag is usefully valued in the range {0, 1, 2}. That
gets personal and impersonal data client-side policed distinctly, it does
not make the reconcilliation with the server-side policy any easier.

Can I make it any clearer? I don't know the answer, and my preferred
solution, since this doesn't bother a soul other than myself, is to
treat the client-side stuff as broken by definition, and vastly too
expensive to fix.
Someone that cares can fix it. Or not.
