extension field in PartyContactMech entity, why?
I spent some hours today to track a non obvious bug in updatePartyContactMech service. I must say that I find very weird to have the
extension field in PartyContactMech entity. It would be certainly more logical to have it in TelecomNumber. Is it really used for
anything else than phone number extension?
Thanks

OK, I opened "the book" at p.55 and I see it there in PCM and I understand it's there because of Party Role Type which makes sense
indeed.
But it's really not obvious when you are working in services...

my thinking is an extension is connected to party where the
TelecomNumber could be connected to a company.
however why an extension why not a type?
