In the example, the TIMESYS element describes that time system. The TIMESYS ID value just needs to be unique within the document so that it can be referenced by FIELDs or PARAMs.

In the section 3.5 TIMESYS example, remove the ID values from the FIELDs since they are not used.   5317

Section 3 reworked to clarify namespace and schema versioning.

Replace the claimed REC status of the document with the appropriate Working Draft disclaimer from the Document Standards appendix.   5318
In sections 4.3 and 4.4, add references to DALI and VOUnits respectively since those standards came about since the writing of VOTable 1.3. Also mention those resources in section 1.4.   5320
