    Making UnitSet required wastes instance file space, make UnitSet optional.

  • Disposition Summary:

    make UnitSet optional

    UnitSet is required on all parameter types & argument types even when the item does not have a unit. The result is a lot of empty </UnitSet> tags in XTCE xml files. The proposal to fix this is to make it optional. This will suffice since units are important, people won't forget them (probably). And it is backwards compatible.

    From:

    <element name="UnitSet">

    To:

    <element name="UnitSet" type="xtce:UnitSetType" minOccurs="0"/>
