Jim, the change option should be interpreted as “completely replace old value with this new value”. Whatever postalInfo is provided with an update should completely replace whatever was there before. Looking at the use case you described, yes, you can replace <contact:postalInfo type=”int”> with <contact:postalInfo type=”loc”> by including the “loc” value in the <contact:chg> element. If that’s not clear it’s only because I didn’t think the meaning of “change” was ambiguous. That’s why there’s nothing there to selectively identify the values to be altered – “change” means “completely replace”.

I don’t believe the absence of a <contact:postalInfo> element of a specific type (“int” or “loc”) under <contact:chg> indicates an implicit delete. Consider the use case: 1. Create a contact via <contact:create> with a single <contact:postalInfo type=”int”> 2. How do you replace the <contact:postalInfo type=”int”> with <contact:postalInfo type=”loc”> via the <contact:update>? a. Is it done by the inclusion of <contact:postalnfo type=”loc”> in the <contact:chg>, where the inclusion of at least one <contact:postalInfo> elements does an implicit change of all of the postal info data thus implicitly deleting <contact:postalInfo type=”int”> with <contact:postalInfo type=”loc”>? Santosh brings up a similar use case of initially setting both <contact:postalInfo> types in the <contact:create>. What it comes down to is whether inclusion of the <contact:postalInfo> element(s) under the <contact:chg> of the <contact:update> only changes the attributes of the specific types included or does it change all postal info data with an implicit delete and replace. — JG James Gould Distinguished Engineer jgo...@verisign.com 703-948-3271 12061 Bluemont Way Reston, VA 20190 VerisignInc.com<http://verisigninc.com/> From: regext <regext-boun...@ietf.org<mailto:regext-boun...@ietf.org>> on behalf of "Hollenbeck, Scott" <shollenb...@verisign.com<mailto:shollenb...@verisign.com>> Date: Monday, February 13, 2017 at 7:18 AM To: "'santosh.kalsang...@impetus.co.in'" <santosh.kalsang...@impetus.co.in<mailto:santosh.kalsang...@impetus.co.in>>, "'regext@ietf.org'" <regext@ietf.org<mailto:regext@ietf.org>> Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [regext] Query: Remove contact:postalInfo from a contact The XML schema requires at least one instance and at most two instances of the postalInfo element. The “type” attribute (whose value is either “int” or “loc”) is required, but you don’t have to have both types present. You can always remove one or the other. Having said that, I don’t think I’m answering your question. Could you please share examples of the state you’re starting with and the state you’re trying to achieve?
