[DDI-SRG] Proprietary Record Layout

[Pascal Heus]

Arofan:
- There is a typo "maxOcurs" for r:Description
- the Software element reference should be to r:Software
- You need to rename the "element" DataItemsType and DataItemType into 
DataItems and DataItem
- ProprietaryProperty makes an incorrect reference to 
ProprietaryDescriptorType (instead of ProprietaryPropertyType)
- the <xs:sequence> definition  in the ProprietaryRecordLayoutType must 
be wrapped by
        <xs:complexContent>
            <xs:extension base="p:BaseRecordLayoutType">
               ... sequence....
            </xs:extension>
        </xs:complexContent>
attached version with above correction

I have not made the following changes:

(1) Per achim's email from 1/18 on data types, under DataItem:
(a) DataType should be ProprietaryDataType
(b) ProprietaryOutputFormat is missing
(this also means we may want to rename DefaultNumerciDataType into 
DefaultNumericProprietaryDataType, same for Text and DateTime -- though 
this gets quite long...)

(2) I would suggest to simplify ProprietaryPropertyType into a xs:string 
element with a mandatory @name attribute (instead of using two children 
which will unnecessarily add to the XML size)
i.e.
<ProprietaryProperty><PropertyName>format</PropertyName><PropertyValue>F8.2</PropertyValue></ProprietaryProperty> 

becomes
<ProprietaryProperty name="format">F8.2</ProprietaryProperty>
(repeating this hundreds of times make a serious difference....)

Also:
- Can you document CodeDataAsNumeric and CodeDataAsText?
- Can you provide a use case / content example for these two items as 
well as  DataItemAddress?

many thanks
