Duplication of words:

Page 11 . section 3.2, "...represents therefore a a valid name".
Page 22 section 5.2 "...a cell value flagged as null is filled with with the NaN value...".

One other tiny doc bug; the schema has

      <xs:attribute name="timescale" use="required" type="xs:token">
        <xs:annotation>
          <xs:documentation>
            This is the time scale used.  Values SHOULD be
            taken from the IVOA timescale ( [[http://ivoa.net/rdf/timescale][http://ivoa.net/rdf/timescale]]).
          </xs:documentation>
        </xs:annotation>
      </xs:attribute>

I think "IVOA timescale" should read "IVOA timescale vocabulary" (matching the wording for refposition).

Fix vocabulary URLs to use www.ivoa.net. (rather than ivoa.net; this follows the pattern set by Datalink and VOResource)

Sec 7.1

  • Change the RESOURCE element diagram to clarify the necessary position(s) of INFO children.
  • Include a comment that in case of any discrepancies between the schema and the diagram, the schema is definitive.

Also added page break prior to section 1.4 so that architecture figure shows up somewhere near the relevant text.

 		email 5378

Sec 5:

 <INFO name="HISTORY">
 The very first Virtual Telescope observation made in 2002
 </INFO> 
 This is not legal - the value attribute
 (optional at VOTable 1.0 but mandatory since VOTable 1.1)
 is missing. It should read:
 <INFO name="HISTORY"
 value="The very first Virtual Telescope observation made in 2002"/>
Also, the INFO needs to be moved to the top of the RESOURCE as required by the VOTable schema.
 		email 5377
Remove (somewhat crudely) STC from figure 1, the architecture diagram. email 5368
Sec 3: 
 "documents may include schemaLocation attribute" 
 -> "documents may include the schemaLocation attribute"
 (or "a" or "some" ...)
Sec 3.5:
 "A \elem{TIMESYS} element referenced via a ref attribute MUST..."
 -> "A \elem{TIMESYS} element referenced via a \attr{ref} attribute MUST..."?
Sec 4.1, item concerning the ref attribute:
 "(reference to the GROUP attribute which specifies the coordinate frame)"
 -> "(reference to the COOSYS attribute which specifies the coordinate frame)"
 		email 5367
Miscellaneous cleanup edits. email 5337
Remove unused namespace declarations from examples. email 5336

Make footnotes visible in HTML (already correct in PDF).

Addressed by displaying those as hyperlinks in HTML version.

 		email 5335
Require "ref" for uses of TIMESYS email 5334
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

Section 3 reworked to clarify namespace and schema versioning.

 		 

5319, 5315
Replace the claimed REC status of the document with the appropriate Working Draft disclaimer from the Document Standards appendix.   5318
In the section 3.5 TIMESYS example, remove the ID values from the FIELDs since they are not used.   5317

Section 3.5: reword the sentence:

The TIMESYS element defines such a time system and gives itself the identifies itself with ID="time frame".

to

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.
