is Contact.type only populated by the registry db? then its a strictly controlled enum and it doesn't need the interpretedEnum.
We would only need it if we parse xml and other external content to create a Contact instance

Comment: Contact.type is populated also in metadata service, where we indeed parse xml to create a Contact instance.

This sub-task has been resolved, but I'm not entirely satisfied with the solution.

Please see top issue REG-90 for a description of the problem.
