| * Please fill in how you think we should code this. Specifically, what to do if a postal code is not available, e.g. out-of-country patients, homeless patients, etc. Also, when do you want collection to start? The tmp entry is available now as of 2011-12-08. I will allow empty values for now but will start restricting this once we settle on rules.[[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 18:42, 8 December 2011 (CST)
