NEW ISSUE: Requirements on c:parameter/@type too lax

[Bryan Aupperle <aupperle@us.ibm.com>]

Target: C C&I Specification CD03
 
Description:
The requirements on the c:parameter/@type
attribute (Section D.6) are too lax, and allow specifying any valid C type.
 There isn’t enough information to support conversion to/from any
arbitrary type.
 
Proposal:
 
Restrict the allowed types to those explicitly
identified in the spec:
 
·
        type : string
(0..1) – specifies the type of the parameter or struct member or return
type.  The @type attribute of a <c:parameter/> element MUST
be a C type specified in section 10.3.1

Type needs to be a string since name and
NCName do not allow '*'.
