What does UBL-DT-16 mean? List agency name attribute should not be present

Why did my invoice fail UBL-DT-16?

The listAgencyName attribute should not be present on code elements in an EN 16931 UBL invoice. Code lists are fixed by the standard, so per-element list agency metadata is redundant and outside the core model. Send codes with no list metadata attributes.
