Definitive version of the VOTable schema for web services

[Matthew Graham]

Hi,

I really think that this has to come from the VOTable WG, even if it  
is now officially dormant. We have complained about this enough for  
long enough that it is shocking that we do not have a solution.  
Hopefully, one of the other national projects is sitting on a version  
of VOTable that actually works with all the code binders so it's  
minimal effort.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
