other SLAP remarks

My remarks concern te 6.1 section of the SLAP v0.2 document, which 
describes standard output fields.

The utype of the initial_level field is "Line.initialLevel.name".  But 
the "name" attribute doesn't appear in the Level class  in the "atomic 
and molecular Lines data model v0.4" document. The same problem occurs 
with the final_level field.

The initial_level_energy and final_level_energy fields have a "int" 
datatype. But the DM describes it as a double and indeed I find that 
double is a better choice for this value.

Finally, I've a question. What is the purpose of the "title" attribute 
of the Line class. Is it really useful to give a name to each line ? A 
line is already described by its other attributes, a textual description 
will be very general.
