  • Deprecate EXID without a TYPE. EXID is defined in terms of its TYPE, and an EXID without a TYPE is not meaningful. EXID.TYPE will have cardinality {1:1}, not {0:1}, in the next major release.

  • Add media type specification for GEDZIP.

  • Add term definitions for 5.5.1-compatibility EXID.TYPE values AFN, RFN, and RIN.

  • Clarifications about LANG

    • Clarify that LANG is the primary language, not sole language, of a payload. For example, LANG en can be used when most of the text is in English, even if some parts are not.
    • A documented extension tag can be used where LANG is not defined.
    • Provide guidance on special language tags
      • und can be used if a superstructure's LANG does not apply here and what does apply is not known.
      • mul can be used if there is no single primary language, but is unlikely to provide practical functionality beyond und.
      • zxx can be used for ASCII art and other non-language text, and can improve accessibility for screen readers.

  • Clarify that empty payloads are encoded as missing LineVals and empty LineVals are not been permitted; this has been true since 7.0.0 but was easily overlooked in the previous text.

  • Note cases where the same couple might be the partners in multiple FAM records.

  • Fix wording of ADR1, ADR2, and ADR3 to no longer refer to CONT or line values.

  • Acknowledge that SNOTE has an identifier structure, which NOTE does not, and change recommendation to suggest using SNOTE if a NOTE needs an identifier.

  • Update contact information on the title page.

  • Various spelling and grammar corrections.
