responseType values and mandatory in CAP

["Art Botterell" <ABott@so.cccounty.us>]

The FCC CMSAAC made one departure from the CAP 1.1 spec when it
recommended an additional value of "Avoid" in the enumeration of values
for info.responseType.  This new value would be used to indicate an area
closure or quarantine.  I'd recommend this value be added in future
versions.

Additionally, I would suggest renaming the "Monitor" value to the
slightly more actionable term "Observe".

And I think it would be well worthwhile to consider what the
implications would be of making responseType mandatory.  (We might want
to add an "Other" value just to hedge our bets.)
