The DAP4 schema has does not chime with the narrative in the specification #2

[ndp-opendap]

The description of Attribute value respresentahions in section 1.5.14 includes the compact form:

<Attribute name="name" type="{atomicTypeName|EnumType fqn}" value="value"/>

But this is not supported by the schema in the appendix 1.10.1.

The schema needs to be modified to allow this representation.

However, we may want to add clarification or advice regarding the possible formulation:

<Attribute name="mooo" type="UInt32" value="2">
    <Value value="3"/>
    <Value>5</Value>
</Attribute>

• What would this mean?
• Is that an Attribute with 3 values? (I think so, and I am basically ok with it as long as we define the order that the values get added to the values list/vector/thingy)
• Would we want to restrict the use of the compact form to the single valued Attributes only?
• And modify the schema(s) to reflect this?

We are going to talk about this with Unidata next week.
