Validation of TAP_SCHEMA.columns

[Tom McGlynn (NASA/GSFC Code 660.1)]

Just to be clear on the attributions: That's TAP Lint which is actually 
giving the error.  The HEASARC just runs TAP lint  on all of the TAP 
services and records the results.

This is a well known problem.  I think the usual solution is to use 
double quotes whenever you give the refer to this column. I.e., the 
column name should be given as
    "size"
rather than
    size
