<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><FONT face=Arial color=blue

purpose of the change is to basically not change what is already in
place. In speaking with Wendy, she pointed out how important it is to
many people marking up data files to do so in the order in which the data
occurs in the file. So there may be a mix of cubed and non cubed
data. Further more, module 1 did not allow for any non cubed data
(everything was grouped into a nCube container). The change simply
replaced the inclusion of a data item into an nCube by containership, with
inclusion by reference. The concept we initially had is still there,
just represented differently.</SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P>

choice, you refer separately to a data file vs. a spreadsheet. I
understand what you're trying to do, but am a little concerned about the
mutually-exclusive manner in which they're described (b/other places we use
the term "data file" to include all sorts of formats, including spreadsheets,
and think it should still keep that broad meaning). So I'd suggest
changing the terms to say something like "fixed-format/delimited data file"
and "spreadsheet data file" to distinguish the types to clarify that we
consider them both data files.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
