Re: [sdd] Revision #1 is the right one

[Brent Miller <bamiller@us.ibm.com>]

My initial observations:

I don't see any substantial difference between "old" and "older  new", so 
I would claim that if we chose "older new" for all the new 
additions/changes to the specification, that these would be "consistent 
enough" without changing all the existing diagrams.

The "newer new" sure is pretty, and I like how it explicitly adds the type 
of the property, and how it more explicitly shows attributes vs. elements. 
However, for me, this one doesn't show "optional" as explicitly as the old 
or "older new" -- these latter ones use dotted lines, which is more 
obvious to me than the "0 .. <infinity>", which does provide the 
information but in a less obvious way, in my opinion.

So to me, the question is whether or not the "newer new" provides enough 
additional value (not just color and other aesthetics) to justify changing 
all of the existing diagrams. At the moment, I don't have a strong opinion 
either way.

What do others think?

Thanks, Merri.

Sorry for the mixup.  I believe that the newest version has all the images
