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>
