Dear Michael:  That interpretation seems to me to be overreaching.  The 
"role" contact, it seems to me, *should_be_used* to define a contact point 
*within* a legal entity. For example, "IT Department of Exxon".  OTOH, I 
have never seen "role" properly defined, have only figured it out over the 
years.  Perhaps a definition is in order at this late date.
