---+ !DataLink version 1.0 Proposed Erratum 2: Hanging if clause in §4.3 (text amendment)

---++ Rationale

In the process of moving the [[http://ivoa.net/documents/DataLink/20150617/index.html][DataLink-1.0]]
into the ivoa-std !GitHub repo, a sentence in §4.3 (page 22) was spotted that is unclear 
(see [[https://github.com/ivoa-std/DataLink/issues/1][DataLink issue #1]]). 
This erratum proposes a small text change (substitute a period with a comma) that makes the sentence meaningful.

---++ Erratum Content

This Erratum proposes to change, in §4.3 of [[http://ivoa.net/documents/DataLink/20150617/index.html][DataLink - Version 1.0]] the sentence:
<verbatim>
If this SIA service supported querying specific data collections via
a custom parameter named COLLECTION. The following PARAM describes the
custom parameter, including the possible values:
</verbatim>

with the following one:
<verbatim>
If this SIA service supported querying specific data collections via a custom
parameter named COLLECTION, the following PARAM would describe the
custom parameter, including the possible values:
</verbatim>

That is, removing the period after the term =COLLECTION=, and replacing it with a comma.
This change will make the full sentence meaningful.

---++ Impact Assessment

The proposed change doesn't impact any part of !DataLink implementations since it simply amends a sentence in the text that was otherwise unclear.
