it appears we are missing this parameter.  but shouldn't it be 
automatically taken from the build number (e.g. "1.0-draft-9.1") ?

i agree we should be consistent.  i assume that when we use a built in 
xsd type that format is not only redundant but potentially harmful.  
therefore it should be removed in the UDT.

In the UDT schema, 'use="optional"' is *not* declared (except in the restriction of 'cct:IndicatorType'). Do we want/need to be consistent here?

yes, consistency is what we need.  i seem to recall that in other cases 
(minOccurs??) we said we would not rely on defaults and explicitly 
define attributes - is that true?
