              Thanks for all the hard work and good suggestions for our
            RIM improvements. Sorry for slowing you down today with all
            of my questions re the "comment" type.  Sometimes I'm a
            little slow to understand things.  

          

          

          

            After our discussion, I'm thinking that you are recommending
          something like this:

          

        

        

        

        
-------------- CommentsType (add this to our CommonTypes)
          -----------------------------

        

        

        
<xs:simpleType name="CommentsType">

             <xs:restriction base="xs:string">

                <xs:whiteSpace value="preserve"/>

        
     
              <xs:maxLength value="1023"/>
          
     
                <xs:minLength value="1"/>

              </xs:restriction>

          </xs:simpleType>

        

        

        
  So is the motion to add a CommentsType of the form noted
          above? (I threw this into the common types schema that I had
          in sitrep in Oxygen and it validated.)

        

        

        

        
Although this isn't being used in HAVE for their comments
          type, your point is that this would still be a useful common
          type across the board.

        

        

        

        
 (We do have an EDXLStringType in our CommonTypes which is
          a token limited to 1023, and it is used extensively in HAVE,
          but it is a token, so EDXLStringType isn't what you want
          because it would remove beginning and ending white space.  )

        

        

        

        
  Thanks.
