ERRATA: Class for Class-less searches?

Reporter: michael.delgaudio@mris.net

RETS Version: 1.0.0

RETS Document: Real Estate Transaction Standard 1.0

Location(s): Section 7.3.1

Description:
The Standard requires that the "Class" attribute be passed in a Search
transaction (Section 7.3.1). However several searches are "class-less".
Particularly, Agent, ActiveAgent, Office (and potentially Prospect).
The standard is silent on the appropriate value for class in these
circumstances.

Proposed Solution:
One offered solution, if class were to remain mandatory, that the class
attribute
contain the same value as the Search Type. I.e. both SearchType and Class
might be ActiveAgent, or Office.
