LOCATION COORDINATES

    TM: TSC is now requesting multiple location coordinates in
    Address (contrary to what we decided last week).

       AGREED (pending review in the Atlantic call) to allow
       multiple location coordinates in Address.

    Regarding the idea of geospatial approaches for PRD3 (see URLs
    in the agenda for this meeting), we concluded that this would
    raise backward compatibility issues, and while we can design a
    workaround for those, the geospatial approach is more general,
    abstract, and sophisticated than what we need for business
    purposes (as opposed to use in emergency response, for
    example), and its adoption would add another layer of
    complexity to the UBL specification.  We reached a similar
    conclusion some time ago with regard to the possibility of
    using the CIQ TC data structure for Address.  Also, adding the
    geospatial model would introduce data types that are not
    compatible with CCTS.
