Do you already have some thoughts about how to handle the RESI tag in Gedcom 7?
No, and this should be handled in webtrees itself, if necessary, but:
Will you copy the PLAC value to the
value? This would be compliant to the standard.
According to the spec, this shoudn't be done: "The payload text should not duplicate PLAC or ADDR information"
Another alternative would be to leave the
empty and accept that some validators will throw errors/warnings.
Leaving it empty seems to be allowed by the spec, so it's actually the validators who are in error here.
If converting my Gedcom data to Gedcom 7, some validators throw errors/warnings about the RESI tag. The background for this is that Gedcom 7 seems to require a non-empty \<Text> after the RESI tag.
Do you already have some thoughts about how to handle the RESI tag in Gedcom 7? Will you copy the PLAC value to the \<Text> value? This would be compliant to the standard. However, it introduces an additional redundancy to the already existing redundancy between PLAC and _LOC.
Another alternative would be to leave the \<Text> empty and accept that some validators will throw errors/warnings.
