The other thing I think needs sorting is the redundant use of the "magic string" three times,
<AstroCoordSystem id="UTC-FK5-GEO" xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="ivo://STClib/CoordSys#UTC-FK5-GEO/" /> <AstroCoords coord_system_id="UTC-FK5-GEO">
Yes, I know there are schema reasons for this, but there has to be a way around it, its just ridiculous to have to throw the same boiler plate in three times. It's not elegant. Surely we can default the id="" to whatever follows the # in the xlink:href: if no id="" and coord_system_id="" is given? We just make the schema looser and put this in the documentation. The schema, at least as far as I'm concerned, is not the standard, the schema+documentation is the standard.

PS. No Roy, I don't want to have the id="" default to "banana"... Received on 2006-05-25Z16:26:47
