Craig Gemmill  commented on OBIX-1:
-----------------------------------

I would prefer to leave the val type in place, as it more closely reflects the implementation in OO languages.

> The UML diagram is generally conformant UML but leaves significant questions for the reader.
> (1) what are the base types? The text suggests but does not state that the underlying types are XML Schema (xsd) types. This should be clarified in the text.
> (2) The UML diagram does not follow the schema; they are not synchronized. The final 1.1 spec must have consistent use of types and implied types in the schemas. See also notes on schemas by others.
> (3) The use of "val" seems odd in UML expression; the apparent metaindication of "<type>" is not standard UML and should be corrected.
