all of these are now done.  The spec itself as well as the XSD and  
Relax NG schema files have been updated.

XSD does not allow us to express a choice between the href and  
template attributes, so that has been added in the text of the spec.   
I'm not sure if Relax NG allows us to express nillable elements (for  
<Property>), so I didn't add anything for that.  Gabe (or anyone else  
more familiar with Relax NG), do you know what to do there?  Or if  
anything needs to be done at all?

Eran, I think you were going to tackle these?  I didn't touch section  
4, even though there are several mentions of elements that have now  
become attributes.  It looked like you would be making other changes,  
and I figured you could update those while you're there.
