609   origin and ctlNum optional?

Created: 22 Feb 2008

Status: Not Applicable

Part: Part 8-1 (2004)

Page: 125

Clause: E.4.2

Paragraph:

Issue: Part 7-3 makes the two control attributes 'origin' and 'ctlNum' optional but 8-1 makes these (mostly) mandatory. It is unclear why an MMS mapping would require these attributes and another mapping (example Web services) would not require these parameters.

Proposal: Either make these attributes optional in 8-1 or mandatory in 7-3.
I suggest keeping them mandatory in 8-1 and changing 7-3 to make them mandatory in that section.
