a:Type
Indicates which part of number or identifier this element contains. Some "numbers" are as simple as 42 and some "numbers" are more like complex aplhanumberic identifiers as Postcodes in UK or Canada, e.g. M2H 2S5. It may be necessary to separate the "number" into sub-elements and indicate what type of information each of them contains.
