comments on cpa-cpp spec ver. 0.1-interim

[Martin W Sachs <mwsachs@us.ibm.com>]

The top-level element of the CPP and CPA contains an ID-type attribute
named id.  As an XML ID-type attribute, it isn't clear to me what would
ever reference it by an ID REF attribute.

What we do need is a name for the document that might be referred to
elsewhere or at least stored in a user's catalog of CPPs and CPAs.  An
ID-type attribute is not suitable for this purpose because of XML's
restriction that the first character cannot be numeric.  If the intent of
id is to be a name for the document its content should be unrestricted and
I therefore suggest changing it to CDATA.

Regards,
Marty
