Dear Luigi, et al.,

  Please note that an IVOA Note is NOT a VO standard.  The following text or
its equivalent should appear in every IVOA Note:

" This is an IVOA Note expressing suggestions from and opinions of the
authors.  It is intended to share best practices, possible approaches, or
other perspectives on interoperability with the Virtual Observatory. It
should not be referenced or otherwise interpreted as a standard
specification."

This does appear in the link at
http://ivoa.net/Documents/latest/Footprint.html but does not appear in the
Note itself.

Bob
