<p>Hello Allan,</p>
<p>sorry, I'm a late comer to the discussion, so there might be
something I've/am missed/missing, but...</p>
<p>From your description I understand that "embassy=*",
"consulate=*" and "liaison=*" will be new first level keys:
wouldn't it be better to make them secondary level keys under the
"diplomatic" <i>namespace</i>, exactly as you are proposing for
"services" (<i>and maybe also add "services"" as a possible value
for "diplomatic=*"</i>) ?</p>
<p>We should then have:</p>

The text clearly identifies the object as;<br>
an Embassy<br>
The 'from' country as Australia<br>
the 'to' country ... as Russia ... though this may also
include other countries too ..and would be indicated by an
enclosure by that county.</blockquote>
<p>You miss the point... The fact that the words "Australian
Embassy" and/or "to Russia" occur in the "name" tag is not
enough for an automated processor to unambiguously understand
that the sending nation is the Commonwealth of Australia and
the receiving nation is the Russian Federation. All these
words can be written in any language of the world. Hence the
need for the "from," "to" and "function" concepts to be
modelled with a curated list of values - there are only so
many countries and international organisations (in this sense)
in the world, and those lists are pretty static.</p>
<p>Enclosure won't work for missions to international
organisations or the Vatican either. There are (IIRC) also
arrangements between countries such that the embassy of A in
country B also represents country C under certain
circumstances. This also doesn't fit nicely with the
"from"/"to" model. On wikipedia they are called "De facto
embassies":</p>
