Is there general consensus among the participants on this list that the creation of a Domain Name Service is a requirement for the EDI Addressing Specification?
If yes, would someone take a stab at stating the requirement concisely, clearly and succinctly. Such a clearly stated requirement is essential if the EDI Addressing Specification is to contain the necessary detailed specifications to satisfy such a requirement.

Somewhere in the regulations there needs to be a mandated process for registration, or the whole concept of self-discovery of addresses breaks down. What concerns me is the employers (of which we have several in our area) who have a small self or TPA review function - where coverage and initial review of the claim is performed. These are very un-sophisticated operations - in one case we finally got them on to email after 3+ years of badgering. Do you envision some mandate of this sort to make trading partners register?
