I’m an advocate for augmenting GEDCOM v7.1 to include “shared places” in the standard. I’m advocating for “shared place” to have a tag name of SPLAC which would follow the already implemented “shared note” tag of SNOTE which is a change from the v5.5.1 name of NOTE.
What headache would it cause your module to change the current value of _LOC to _SPLAC for a future release? Could this be a setup parameter to select either _LOC or _SPLAC?
The GEDCOM committee likes to include functional updates that are already used and supported by programs today and this could be used to support this important change to the GEDCOM Standard in the future.
