   +*Access Format*  

   1.Semantics should probably define those. 
      How is the timescale for a good enough list of values?
   1.Call to the community for contribution to build up examples

This field is still being defined (some discussion is given in the
document text).  A draft specification will appear in a future version
of the document.  The intention is to specify both the basic file
format as well as the astronomy-specific format, and details such as
whether compression is used.  This is required, for example, to tell
the user what software will be required to do anything useful with
the data product.  While we can specify how to compose this field,
and supply some standard values, it will really be up to the broader
community and data providers to define specific values to represent
all their data products.

If the standardisation of the access_format field is not ready
for this version, I would propose to leave it out completely
to avoid people (mis)using it now, and to avoid non-compliant 
services polluting the vosphere after the access_format is formalised.
