Fwd: whitespace

Rex:

Thanks for all the hard work and good suggestions for our RIM improvements. Sorry for slowing you down today with all of my questions re the "comment" type. Sometimes I'm a little slow to understand things.

After our discussion, I'm thinking that you are recommending something like this:

-------------- CommentsType (add this to our CommonTypes) -----------------------------

<xs:simpleType name="CommentsType">
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:whiteSpace value="preserve"/>

<xs:maxLength value="1023"/>

<xs:minLength value="1"/>

</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>

So is the motion to add a CommentsType of the form noted above? (I threw this into the common types schema that I had in sitrep in Oxygen and it validated.)

Although this isn't being used in HAVE for their comments type, your point is that this would still be a useful common type across the board.

(We do have an EDXLStringType in our CommonTypes which is a token limited to 1023, and it is used extensively in HAVE, but it is a token, so EDXLStringType isn't what you want because it would remove beginning and ending white space. )

Thanks.
