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)
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.
