Hi Volker,

If you run a real-world scenario where a registrant captures a complex street address, say for an office park, it’s going to be two or three lines long for example:

Street1 Room 5, Floor 3

Street2 Orange Building, Teal Office Park,

Street3 123 Silver Street

now if the registrant moves buildings to a private residence for example:

Street1 456 Yellow Avenue

you wouldn’t want:

Street2 Orange Building, Teal Office Park,

Street3 123 Silver Street

to remain.

At the end of the day it’s up to the Registry policy; you can make it the Registrar’s problem to explicitly clear all fields or; provide some handling around resetting the fields if only one entry is provided.

I know it’s not a direct answer but hopefully it sheds some light?

Hi all,

I've a question regarding contact:addr inside of a contact:postalInfo
block when using contact:chg.

E.g. this XML snippet from RFC 5733 (excerpt only):

C: <contact:chg>
C:   <contact:postalInfo type="int">
C:     <contact:org/>
C:     <contact:addr>
C:       <contact:street>124 Example Dr.</contact:street>
C:       <contact:street>Suite 200</contact:street>
C:       <contact:city>Dulles</contact:city>
C:       <contact:sp>VA</contact:sp>
C:       <contact:pc>20166-6503</contact:pc>
C:       <contact:cc>US</contact:cc>
C:     </contact:addr>
C:   </contact:postalInfo>
C: </contact:chg>

contact:street may occur zero to three times.

Is it intended that a single contact:street element should replace all
existing contact:street elements or only the first contact:street
element of the contact object?
