Description
The current Schematron rule a-1198-10484-c tests the validity of the address in participant in Payers section. The address for the participant is recommended (0..1 with SHOULD) per the C-CDA specification. In this case the Schematron rules should not validate the address if the address is absent or has a nullFlavor, but any participant under Payers section that doesn't have an address or the address has a nullFlavor attribute, always fail this rule.
We propose a change to this rule where the rule would allow not having an `addr` element.
