Lifting 1.1 limit in SCS?

[Wu, Xiuqin]

I want to express explicitly that I support this erratum for SCS.

Dear Apps & DAL,

an erratum has been proposed for
Simple Cone Search v1.03.

You can find it here:
https://wiki.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/SCS-1_03-Err-2

and below there's the DAL thread that started
this update.

Apps WG is added to this thread to gather
comments and feedback on the client impact
assessment for the erratum itself.

Thanks in advance and
Cheers
    Marco

PS - Mark/Markus: check whether I acted
on the text as expected.

Fair enough -- unless someone else speaks out for the lengthy

totally feel free to revert -- though I can't say I like either of
"XML content" and "compliant with" very much, which is what made be
try a re-formulation in the first place; perhaps we can go for "SCS
responses are returned in the VOTable format"?)

Yeah, that might be hedging too much, and I don't think it's been a
problem in the last 10 years or so any more.  So, yes, chuck it out.
