Most people seem to assume it can be reliably used for geolocation purposes. That would be the most obvious use case for this attribute. Entering an optional value would signify that all the addresses in this block are used within the geographical boundary of the country defined by the code. Where the addresses are used in multiple countries, it may be possible to show this at the assignment object level. Otherwise the optional country: attribute could be omitted and the geolocation information would be determined by the geofeed: attribute.
Hi Denis, Thanks for your email, brother! imho: ...no need to ommit it; if it's possible to (i) interpret country: attribute values as default, when it exist, for INET(6)NUM objects without geofeed: attribute values; and (ii) give priority to geofeed: attribute values against country: ones. Shalom, --sb.
This issue has been discussed many times over the last couple of decades. Most recently during the discussion over NWI-10 in Oct/Nov 2019 and early in 2020 on this mailing list. I think it is long overdue for a resolution...
cheers denis co-chair DB-WG
