Binary & Enumerations

      Standards including UN-CEFACT for currency designations as strings are updated regularly, though the major currencies have had stable representations for decades.

      Typical currency designator strings are <= 4 characters in length, or roughly the length of a long which is one encoding of an enumeration, so the payloads are identical in size.

      The TC cannot manage currency designators, as we do not control, only consume other standards.

      Page: 30, Line: 30 -> Some of these fields (like CURRENCY) should be binary encoded as enumerations (whenever possible). Specifically, many (IoT and non-IoT) devices in constrained environments rely on physical/link layer technologies (like IEEE 802.15.4) that are not designed to handle large payloads (even with upper layer adaptation)
