---+ VOTable

---+ Future
| *Consider for future version* | *Reference* | *Major/Minor* | *Notes* |
| Port the VOTable source to ivoatex. | <a target="_blank" href="http://mail.ivoa.net/pipermail/apps/2019-February/001349.html">email</a> | Minor | Markus has valiantly volunteered. |
| DataLink recommends using a "content" parameter. Consider mentioning it in sec. 8 (MIME types) to avoid other standards reinventing the same thing with a different name. | <a target="_blank" href="http://mail.ivoa.net/pipermail/apps/2019-February/001341.html" title="email">email</a> | Minor | |
| Add optional "origin" or "refposition" attribute to COOSYS | <a target="_blank" href="http://mail.ivoa.net/pipermail/apps/2019-February/001347.html" title="email">email</a> | Minor | |
| Remove mention of UType in section 1.4, as it is lacking a standard. | <a target="_blank" href="http://mail.ivoa.net/pipermail/apps/2019-February/001357.html" title="email">email</a> | Minor | |
| Sec. 4.6: Remove paragraph "In order to avoid name collisions..." | <a target="_blank" href="http://mail.ivoa.net/pipermail/apps/2019-February/001357.html" title="email">email</a> | Minor | |
