Re: [Vienna Docs] Duns and IP numbers

[christopher ferris <chris.ferris@east.sun.com>]

Just out of curiosity, some questions.

1) why are we using fictitious DUNS+4 numbers as opposed
to real ones? Note also that there have been comments filed
against the TR&P spec regarding our (previous to v0.99) examples
using a DUNS+4 sample. I wouldn't want to have the same
question raised during the POC demo. I'd recommend use of
a 9 digit DUNS number rather than the 13 digit DUNS+4.

2) What is the "code" that will be used for identifying
the fact that the value of the PartyId element is a 
DUNS number. I assume it is "DUNS" (Dale's sample (generic)
CPA used <tp:PartyId tp:type="DUNS">123456789</tp:PartyId>.

3) Use of a local physical location for the various schema
used should be avoided if possible. A path of C:\yadda\yadda\yadda
doesn't translate well to non-Windows OS platforms such as Linux
and Solaris;-) I would strongly advise use of a web
location (e.g. someone could host the schema from their
web server (e.g. http://10.0.0.62/schemas/messageHeaderv0_98.xsd ...)
and that would provide everyone with access.

Cheers,

Chris
