OK. In the Trainmat template, we have:

Record-Last-Modified-Date:
Record-Last-Modified-Name:
Record-Last-Modified-Email:

(I guess you'd see the last two as part of a "person" cluster.)

Not sure. We (someone ie WG chair?) just needs to remain aware that this
needs addressing somewhere.

I can't see the real use of it when "country" etc is included. That's all.
It's history now I guess. No real problem.

It needs to be clarified in the notes. Agree it is good to be able to sort
on Country. (State is fairly US specific.)

OK. Fine -  keep them all as optional attributes. The person responsible
for the template type would choose whether or not to include postal *and*
say Country - but then should indicate whether or not Country should be
included in postal too -( e.g.  if they wished to keep this field
complete).

Hope that makes sense.
