Well, it could be useful but too early to tell.

Part of the answer depends on how the 20 digit identifier is constructed...will it show country codes alongside.some other code pushed together? Or will it be ‘underived’?

As for the attributes: This is where we need to push these folks to an existing set, not create new. As an OASIS guy, Jameie should be telling them to use OASIS CIQ.

This is where the ISOC attribute infrastructure work could be worth its weight in gold. A single repository where you pick up the schema structure and semantics for ‘expiry date’ for example.

How does this compare or could be used with typical Organization descriptions (20 digits vs. intOrg, etc.)?  and does this help?  What gap does it address?  Typical standards questions and ones we are applying our look at attributes and attribute providers.
