---++ Comments
   * The following comments affecting the document came from the VOEvent workshop (IVOA.ArnoldRots - 16 May 2005):
      * Can Name in Coordinate be made optional?
      * What Frames should really be required in <nop>AstroCoordSystem?
      * Can the duplication of <nop>TimeScale in <nop>AstroCoordSystem and <nop>AstronTime be avoided?
      * <nop>XInclude examples in Appendix C?

   * The following comments affecting the STC-X (schema) implementation came from the <nop>VOEvent workshop (IVOA.ArnoldRots - 16 May 2005):
      * Can Observatory and Observation Locations be uncoupled?
      * Can multiple Observations and multiple coordinates be accommodated in <nop>ObsDataLocation?
      * Can <nop>AstroCoordArea be made optional in <nop>ObservationLocation?
      * Can there be an simpler description for error circles in the case of 2-D spatial coordinate systems?

---++ Responses
   * The four requests from <nop>VOEvent affecting the document are reasonable and I will amend the document accordingly.  The corresponding modifications to the schema implementation are minor and do not affect the validity of existing documents. IVOA.ArnoldRots - 16 May 2005

   * As to the four comments from <nop>VOEvent on the schema implementation: the last two are minor, while the first two need additional study; none of them affect existing documents.  IVOA.ArnoldRots - 16 May 2005

   * One typo was pointed out and a few suggestions for improvement (use of different units) were made for the examples in Appendix B.  These changes will be made.  IVOA.ArnoldRots - 16 May 2005

   * A query from the Catalog group made me realize that 3-D spherical coordinates need to be extended to allow "deg deg Mpc" as units; this will be accommodated.  IVOA.ArnoldRots - 16 May 2005
