Re: [regrep] RIM V1.12 for review: RIM spec vs.schema difference s

Here are my thoughts on Neal's list. Note that I do not comment on most items in the
list meaning that I agree with Neal's suggestion. Also where I am silent means that
I think that RIM is right and does not need to change. In most cases RIM is right
and schema is wrong usually due to a cut-paste error.

-ExtrisicObject has attribute "contentURI" in rim.xsd; missing from RIM

The latest schema has removed contentURI and the RIM is consistent. contentURI was
not well specified and as currently specified was serving no purpose.

- User.address is single-valued in RIM but may have multiple occurrences in rim.xsd

Made it single in schema

-· User.emailAddresses is multi-valued in RIM but may have only one occurrence in
rim.xsd

Current schema has multiple emails for User so they are consistent

-· User.url is optional in RIM but required in rim.xsd

Actually schema does not specify "use=" which means it is optional. I have made it
explicit for good measure.

-PostalAddress.streetNumber is specified as Integer in RIM but string in rim.xsd

Indeed RIM should be updated. Great example of Sherlock Homes :-)
