Version 7.0.4

  • Clarify the use of standard structure types and standard tags in extensions

    The previous text was ambiguous, providing for "extended-use standard structures" with meaning "defined in this document" but without providing a definition of their meaning. It additionally failed to note uses of extensions that had part of the guides on gedcom.io since 7.0.0's release.

    The new text is clearer and provides the following:

    • We recommend extensions be posted as issues on github so they can be queued for a future minor release.
    • When structures with stdTag appear under a structure with extTag, their meaning is defined by that containing extension.
    • If a documented extension tag has the URI of a standard structure type, it has the same meaning as that structure type but can be used where that structure type cannot.

    See the comments on PR 24 and issues 13 and 17 for the discussion leading to this clarified text.

  • Clarify that extensions with enumeration values should define the meaning of those values.

  • Fix a few small typos.
