RE: [humanmarkup-comment] Base Schema - locator

[Ranjeeth Kumar Thunga <rkthunga@interposting.com>]

The particular code list below, to me, seems like 'proxemics'.

The distinction, as I currently see it, is that 'locator' would be
simply an absolute reference for objects, while 'proxemics' would be a
relative reference, relative of course to other semiotes, or possibly
physical objects.  Does that sound right?

Without locators, you have not way to provide a spatial 
context for other objects.  It is there as a placeholder 
to note that fact.   When you break down the parts of 
any assembly, you generally denote these in terms of 
say "upper", "lower", "upper right" etc.  This is a 
code list for simple descriptions of locations relative 
to each other.

Hi Everyone

Onward...

locator

The element is Complex Type, derived by restrictin from xsd.string is 
not classified as abstract.

It does not reference other elements. It is not used by other elements

It is described/defined as a simple set of names of locations ON an
object.

I don't have a lot to say about this one except that I'm not sure why 
we need it. I don't object to it, and I'm not suggesting we delete 
it, I just don't know what the special use is that we have for it 
that raises it to the level of necessity for inclusion in the base 
schema. I understand body location on a human object, but I'm not 
quite sure about locatin on an object per se. I suspect that like a 
few other things that don't seem obvious to me, as soon as someone 
shows me an example of how it would be used, I will do a Homer 
Simpson, apply palm to forehead and utter a plaintive, "Doh!"

Anyway, I'm not gonna have a cow about it.
