Re: [Geopriv] local-civic registry management policy

Yes, that is correct. The type is only a column in the registry and the SHOULD IMPLEMENT statement for Type A. There is no other significance to Type.

Note that the Type column in the registry would start with all 5139 tags defined as Type A.

I am not suggesting two registries. This document would rework the existing CAtypes registry. My proposed change would add one more column to that registry containing "A" or "B".

I am not suggesting any changes to encoding.

The only difference is that every implementation SHOULD be expected to understand everything in 5139 + any Type-As that find their way into the new registry.
