Hi all

I am currently updating my SSA validator at VOParis. Looking at this link

http://wiki.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/ServiceValidation

I see that *4.2.5* The RESOURCE containing the results of a response to 
a valid query must include one FIELD / PARAM element with: UCD mandatory
In the SSA document 1.1 and older only Utypes are mandatory not UCD
even in the SSA document 1.1   on  4.2.1
UTYPEs of standard fields are required for identification of interface 
elements and *must* be given and *must* comply with the SSA protocol 
(this document) /.../ UCDs *should* also be given when specified by the 
protocol
So do you want me to ignore the document Service Validator and validate 
what is in the protocol document 
http://www.ivoa.net/Documents/SSA/20120210/REC-SSA-1.1-20120210.htm

Moreover I as I have insist many time that XML schema referenced should 
really be accessible to see if it's compliant with the text
xmlns:ssa="http://www.ivoa.net/xml/DalSsap/v1.0" is not available

regards
Pierre
