Hi,

Concerning the simple spectra VOTAble serialisation,
you have only 5 FIELD definitions with 8 TD cells in each row.
comparing with XML, it seems that definitions of Wavelength, BinLow & BinHigh
are missing.

Fields without meaning full value (like Error, ErrorLow,ErrorHigh & Quality)
can't be omitted? Or given as PARAM in the header to specifiy default
or unknown values,
