Re: [PartyId "type" negotiation]

["William J. Kammerer" <wkammerer@foresightcorp.com>]

Prasad Yendluri asked "Since PartyId can take a flexible form coupled
with the type attribute (e.g. <PartyId type="urn:duns.com">
1234567890123 </PartyId>), has any thought been given to making this
negotiable / something that can be specified in the CPP/CPA?"

Like a person might have certain names or nicknames he'll respond to, an
organization may use one or more logical identifiers to identify
itself - e.g., any of a D-U-N-S, a UCC/EAN GLN, a SCAC, a Health
Industry Number (HIN), and on and on.  Each of these is unique within
its name space (though an organization, through mergers or otherwise,
may have two or more of each!).

As long as any of the valid IDs to which one will answer can be
accommodated in multiple occurrences of the <PartyId> element within
<PartyInfo> in the CPP,  what kind of negotiation would be necessary?
