The <geographical_region> element containing the US Armed Forces
"states" is the <u>only</u> container-element in the file which has no
"type" attribute. The DTD indicates that "type" attribute is indeed
optional, but it seems logical to fill in the only missing type
(perhaps with the type="US Armed Forces state").<br>
<br>
<blockquote><tt><geographical_region></tt><br>
<tt> <!-- The USPS Also recognizes the following
Military"States" --></tt><br>
<tt> <!-- (Europe includes Africa, Middile East) --></tt><br>
<tt> <region</tt><br>
<tt> code="US-AE" name="Armed Forces Europe" /></tt><br>
<tt> <region</tt><br>
<tt> code="US-AA" name="Armed Forces Americas" /></tt><br>
<tt> <region</tt><br>
<tt> code="US-AP" name="Armed Forces Pacific" /></tt><br>
<tt></geographical_region></tt><br>
</blockquote>
<br>
The comment block could use work too (mis-spelled "Middle East",
mis-capitalization, etc.).<br>
<br>
Should I submit this as a bug?<br>
