The DAP4 schema has does not chime with the narrative in the specification:

With respect to dap4 Attribute values the scheme has this:The schema allows:

    <choice>
          <element name="Value">
              <attribute name="value">
                <choice> <!-- technical ambiguity -->
                    <data type="dap4_integer"/>
                    <data type="dap4_float"/>
                    <data type="dap4_opaque"/>
                    <data type="dap4_char"/>
                    <data type="dap4_string"/>
                    <data type="dap4_fqn"/> <!-- for enum types -->
                </choice>
              </attribute>
         </element>
         <element name="Value"><data type="dap4_text"/></element>
    </choice>

But the narrative in section 1.5.14 the option to have the value(s) of the dap4 Attribute be held as the XML Text node of a element is not discussed, it only appears in the schema. Example:

<Value>An attribute value of some type</Value>

This should be illustrated in section 1.5.14
