DataLink version 1.0 Proposed Erratum 3: Missing text in §4.4 (text amendment)

Rationale

In the process of moving the DataLink-1.0 into the ivoa-std GitHub repo, a sentence in §4.4 (page 23) was spotted having some possibly missing text (see DataLink issue #2). This erratum proposes a small change in the text that makes the sentence valid.

Erratum Content

This Erratum proposes to change, in §4.4 of DataLink - Version 1.0 the sentence:

Since the capability being described is RESTful and inputs are , the caller must
recognise the standardID values and use a VOSpace-aware client to call the
service.

with the following one:

Since the capability being described is RESTful, the caller must recognise
the standardID values and use a VOSpace-aware client to call the service.

That is, removing "and inputs are". This change keeps the 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.
