Hi, The ECML Alliance is interested in extending the base P3P Schema for an upcoming release of the ECML Specification (see http://www.w3.org/TR/P3P-for-ecommerce for an initial proposal on how to do so). In fact, the field names for ECML 1.0 were patterned after the P3P Schema (e.g. the field name for 'City' in the 'Bill To' address is Ecom_BillTo_Postal_City). One inconsistency that has been noted, however, in extending the P3P 'Contact' element is that ECML allows for 3 lines of street address (Ecom_BillTo_Postal_Street_Line1, etc.) whereas the 'Contact' element contains a 'Postal' element which has a 'Street' element which is Character Data (long way of saying it has only 1 line of street address). In the P3P spec, section 4.3.5.1, it describes the 'Postal' structure as |------+---------------------------+------------+-------------------------| |postal|Category |Structure |Short Display Name | |------+---------------------------+------------+-------------------------| |... |... |... |... | |------+---------------------------+------------+-------------------------| |street|Physical Contact |Unstructured|Street Address | | |Information | | | |------+---------------------------+------------+-------------------------| |... |... |... |... | |------+---------------------------+------------+-------------------------| We (ECML Alliance) would like to see this described with an addtional StreetAddress structure: |------+---------------------------+------------+-------------------------| |postal|Category |Structure |Short Display Name | |------+---------------------------+------------+-------------------------| |... |... |... |... | |------+---------------------------+------------+-------------------------| |street|Physical Contact |streetaddres|Street Address | | |Information |s | | |------+---------------------------+------------+-------------------------| |... |... |... |... | |------+---------------------------+------------+-------------------------| |------------+------------------------+-----------+-----------------------| |streetaddres|Category |Structure |Short Display Name | |s | | | | |------------+------------------------+-----------+-----------------------| |line1 |Physical Contact |Unstructure|Street Address Line1 | | |Information |d | | |------------+------------------------+-----------+-----------------------| |line2 |Physical Contact |Unstructure|Street Address Line2 | | |Information |d | | |------------+------------------------+-----------+-----------------------| |line3 |Physical Contact |Unstructure|Street Address Line3 | | |Information |d | | |------------+------------------------+-----------+-----------------------| Thanks for your consideration of this change.
